Environment Coloring/Tagging
Please allow to give environments different colors or a flag, e.g. for prod/staging/dev
Similar to TablePlus (as tags with given defaults local|testing|development|staging|production) – for now, I'm just prefixing my environments with prod- or dev-, but that's not so obvious.
It would be nice to be visually warned when working on production environment.
You can already do environment colors (right-click on the environment)

I’m going to add this to the environment creation flow so it’s not so hidden.
Ah, I just realized there was a regression that caused the context menu to not show this option. Fixing now!
Came here to reports exactly this regression :) Great !
With the release of 2025.8.0-beta.1, this seems mostly fixed.
Though, editing and selecting environments now sometimes mixes the resolved env variables in a weird way.
Will see to making a “video” soon to show what I mean, since explaining is kinda hard.
This is what I meant. And selecting an environment from the top menu is now not really guaranteed to actually change the variable values defined in the env. config.
Just did a bunch of updates for environment colors, including being able to choose a dynamic theme color:

oh, nice! In 2025.7.3 I did not even find a way to rename an environment. So I guess this is now also fixed?
so, should I report this as bug related to (Insomnia) import? When requests/environments were imported, the Assign Color and Rename menu items are missing.
