color-coded

Sorted by hue

Color-coded means organized or marked using different colors to distinguish categories or convey information: color-coded folders for each subject, a color-coded map of voting districts.

The system relies on visual distinction—red for urgent, green for approved, yellow for pending.

To color-code something is to apply such a system: She color-coded her calendar by project.
