Hmm, I'm not entirely sure if colouring someone's name is the best of ideas since you have now created an artificial class system within HN.
While people will argue that it's only a colour, it is still a line in the sand that has been drawn and it will (if even slightly) penalise people that access the site primarily in offpeak times as their comments may go unnoticed when people scan threads for orange names.
