Colour code Centroid channel strips

This is low priority, but would be useful to have: the ability to colour code channel strips in the Centroid. Since the Centroid is expandable, it can potentially become very large. It would be a great visual aid to have colour coded channel strips, muck like colour coded regions on the time-line, to help to quickly identify and separate groups of related instruments (percussion, bass, pads, leads, arps, fx, vocals, etc.). The colour palette could be the same used for the time-line. The colours could be accessed from an additional item on the channel strip context menu. The colour could be applied to the whole strip as a subtle overlay that preserves the shading of the device. If colouring the whole channel strip is too much, then the colour could be applied just to the background of the text label at the bottom of the channel strip.

I wouldn't mind this. I personally would use this feature to colour them based on what class of sound they are, such as chords, basses, FX, etc. Maybe you could colour them using the timeline track colours.
