Re: Thoughts on editorial workflow that's easier to use

Though we need to support people with colour blindness as well but 
adding something additional to the colour. Often hatching is used or 
perhaps overlay text.

Or you could move that 'tag' text from the end of the section to a more 
prominent top of section location to facilitate rapid scanning. Ideally 
it should be somehow visually linked to the colour block I guess.
