Feature request: Make glyphs more colorful!

So I'm working on a big study right now and I noticed that blunders, mistakes and inaccuracies are colored red, orange and blue respectively (both when analysed by an engine, and when annotated by oneself by rightclicking on any move). I'd suggest adapting more colors for good and brilliant moves too, perhaps interesting and dubious moves as well. The other glyps such as Novelty, Counterplay, Time Trouble etc. could of course be colored too.

I don't care much about the exact coloring, but personally I quite like chess.com's coloring, so I'd probably change "inaccuracy" from blue to yellow - as long as it's still readable - and add shades of light green/blue/turquoise for the good moves, purple and brown for the interesting and dubious moves.

Thanks for reading! It's a small suggestion, and not that important, but I think it'd be pretty nice especially for people who compose and who read studies :)
And what is a brilliant move? Define! In a way that is codable ...
@Sybotes A move that a player marks with the "Brilliant move" glyph in a study....

I am fairly certain that @Jakob2000 is simply requesting adding colors to the already-existent glyphs in the Study menu, which are all marked manually (with the exception of Stockfish's game analysis, for which colorings already exist). I suppose there would be the edge case of what to do if one move is marked with multiple glyphs (such as 10. g6!N), and the need to choose colors that are distinguishable by the color-blind, but overall this sounds more than doable in my opinion.
