Why don't you use subject lines for your postings?

Why should this list do colours? It is an email list therefore is it
ASCII text based, not HTML or anything else that a web based forum can
provide.

Colour would provide no benefit here and it may well cause many people
on this list to not be able to read postings. Not everyone uses
'standard' operating systems or the latest email/news clients.
