Human mind, through eye, first recognizes movement then brightness and color then signs (letters). For people who have tens of open console tabs to many remote hosts it would be very helpful to immediately see which tabs go to which hosts. Automatic coloring of tab buttons computed by some smart algorithm from remote host name could be very helpful here.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
checkbox in global preferences which enables tabs coloring and after enabling groups of tab buttons would have different colors but the same color for the same remote host

What I do is assign different (colored) icons to each tab. But automatic coloring (similar to how Konversation nickname colors) would be nice.

This will be possible after the completion of this MR: https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/merge_requests/219

Although the author intends to implement this through Konsole new plugin system
