This would ruin the "learnability" of the filter editor -- colors are very important for understanding how components work (green = images, blue = curves, gray = controls).

You mean the inputs? They are already color-coded and use the same color scheme.

no i meant here...shows you what they can plug into..the little green, blue or grey arrow on the side of the component. so you know before you drag it to the screen that it can be plugged into a green grey or blue imput. hope it makes sense

Please sir can i have some MORE !

Dr Evil, Green Components can't be connected into blue ones. Only Curves Components as 'Curve Ops', 'Curve' (they're blue) and some 'Controls' can be connected into the blue input.
