Automatic color assignment to rack items based on certain properties

I'm currently using colors to distinguish between different item types (running servers, broken servers, USV/PDUs, network equipment, passive elements like cable ducts ecc. ecc.). However this is extremely time-consuming, cumbersome and error-prone manual work, as the colors have to be manually selected for each item and there has to be a separate documentation somewhere, which color needs to be assigned to which item type. Also it contradicts our automatization efforts.

It would be great, if if colors could be assigned automatically based on object properties like model or type or maintenance status ecc.
