We would like to color code constituent headers to convey key information (VIP, special seating needs, etc.). Is anyone doing this? If so what, what has worked well for you? How many different colors/categories did you use?
We have a number of alerts that conditionally show up in our header, but it's not color-coded really. The text is a different color than all the standard text in the header, including the inactive warning, but the alerts themselves are the same bright color.
The one place we did actually change the entire color scheme of the header is in test. (That and the word TEST in giant letters in the middle of it.) This makes it even more obvious to users, who might not notice the title bar text, that they are not in live. That was an important one for us.
