Would it be possible for an extension to make it so that we can change the color of blocks like make a collapsed function red or a forever loop Purple so it can be easier to find?

For example, when you right-click a block a setting could showup and you type in a hex code or a set of preselected colors

I think you can! You can only have 15 colors (hardware limitations or certain consoles?) but you can change what they are. Go to Assets at the top of the editor, click on “colors” under the asset preview window, and you can change the colors!
