Database Design - coloured ID fields/columns

I really liked an idea I found on www.chrisbell.com. The dude colour coded the ID fields across all tables so you can see at a glance which ID’s go in what tables.

I think this is a great idea so I’m putting it forward as something to consider with the development of the database. If colouring the entire column is too much, perhaps the text in that column or even the column/field header could have a colour option?

Any objections? No? Good. Lets do it :grin:

PS: The db manager is awesome!!!
