Usage

1. Enable the plugin. By default every view is colored.
2. Give a task note a Tailwind color name - red, blue, zinc, … The task is then tinted with that color everywhere it appears.
   • Property source (default): set a frontmatter property, e.g. tntc-color: red.
   • Tag source: add a tag, e.g. #red.
3. Or set it from the UI: right‑click a task → Set color, pick from the list, or Remove color.

Only recognized color names are used; anything else is ignored. If a task carries several, the last one wins.
