Exactly :-)
My procmail puts a copy of _all_ incoming mail into the same mailbox
(and another copy into various mailboxes for archiving). So, I normally
just use one mailbox for reading new mail and therefore use the colors
to easily recognize whether a mail or thread is private, work related,
from some mailing list, whatever.
