Quick Example
Imagine you manage cloud resources across multiple environments. Create a group called "Environments":
- Add "production" → highlighted in red
- Add "staging" → highlighted in yellow
- Add "dev" → highlighted in green
Now when you browse your cloud console, environment names instantly pop with colour, making it impossible to accidentally modify the wrong resource.
