Add colors to Measurements.

For example.

1. Parallel distance can be in Red.
2. Surface Area in Blue
3. Volume in Orange

But just Parallel distance could be in a Stand Out color, in Red and rest could be in black.

At the very least, the measurements need to be more clearly identifiable. I know that they have icons and text that differentiates them but I often accidentally pin the wrong one which means I am not able to differentiate them at a glance.

Color is sometimes too distracting and not everyone can see it but if it’s done right, it could work.

Love this idea!

I’d love to be able to color code parts based on what folder the bodies are located too. I build custom cabinetry and this sort of thing would be a huge help.

That differentiates them but I often accidentally pin the wrong one which means I am not able to [verve card info](https://www-vervecard.com) differentiate them at a glance.
