I think Rick suggested that it might be done with different classes. You can assign certain users a "color class". Then you have to add those classes into the CSS.
You can put whatever class in a user's profile, and thereby have as many classes as you wish. So it could be flexible. But adding classes is more complicated than just changing the color in the admin panel.
Those are ideas that have flown around. All just talk at this point. But it seems to make sense.
