Default colors of containers depending on tools

It would be awesome to default a container color depending on what tools you were using within that container. For instance:

 

Mostly input tools - container defaults to green

mostly prep tools - container defaults to blue

Mostly output/reporting tools - container defaults to orange

 

Along with this, it would be neat to be able to customize those colors depending on which tools mostly fill the container.

I really like this idea. We have no standards and the majority of people in my company do not use tools to distinguish sections of their workflows and we need to increase our commenting/documentation of the workflow. This would make it so much easier to get people to adopt new processes.

I like this idea - Any automated customisation (that's optional) would be a good thing!

+1 to this idea.

Typically i containerise my workflow by toolset, for instance a blue section of data prep, orange for data transformation etc.

 

I imaging this would make this really easy to visually document workflows.
