Just an idea. You could assign colors automatically if you used something like https://github.com/nluqo/autumn . Found that on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7824684 today.

What Hacker News says
5 sourcesSelf plug. Autumn.js will do this if you pass it the same keys both times. Or it will do it by default if you call it with no arguments. https://github.com/nluqo/autumn

-I made my own static site generator in PHP that uses S3/cloudfront. Because why not. The result is a fast blog I think looks great. http://jere.in
-I made Autumn.js, a library for hashing keys to colors. https://github.com/nluqo/autumn
-I just finished up (and am desperately looking for feedback on) http://letspaste.com/ a gaming screenshot site. I think this is a really neat idea, but I'm not sure if anyone gets it yet. It did teach me about a few JS libraries though: packery and hopscotch
