My first comment, after a quick compile and configuration:

This rocks.

Second:  the way the configuration should be done is a bit obscure,
because the "color" directives that you now need to use for this
feature to take effect, do not indicate whatsoever that it has effect
on the index.  Perhaps a better way would be to do it in the same
manner as the "color header" directives, with the regexp replaced by
the six possible entities that can be colored.

Didn't look at the code by the way..
