Description

Problem

Color coding tabs is a terrific addition (love this in Azure Data Studio), but having to set the color for each queue or blob container in a storage account becomes a huge hassle for large storage accounts. If you are following security best practices, it is more likely that your storage account belongs to a single "service" as well as a single environment (Dev vs. Certification vs. Production).

Desired Solution

It would be much nicer/easier if we could specify the tab colors per storage account instance

Alternatives and Workarounds

If these settings are part of the settings JSON, we could at least set it up once and then copy the configuration block between developer machines but if a new queue/blob was created we would need to repeat the process again. It would be better to specify a whole storage account as having a certain color.

Additional Context

In my organization we ensure that we have a storage account for each "service" and environment as a security best practice
