 * How hard would it be to add an easy way to edit text coloring while posting?

 * Do you mean like highlighting? or an entire paragraph? or the whole post?

 * Well you are going to need to disable the WP html parser. Then define some spans
   in css. Then put in the relevant span in the paragraph.

 * I mean like a simple html interface when posting, so that you don’t have to roll
   your own html. Should be able to support changing colors to a user-defined list(
   or at least a config-based list)
    ideal operation would be just like the [em]
   button and then just color whatever text I need to that color in the post.

 * Style  in your CSS file:
    em { color:#ff0099; } You can style any of the text
   elements, , , `<i>`, `<b>`, etc.

 * Use p classes
    p.red { color: #ff0000; } p.green { color: #00ff00; } p.blue {
   color: #0000ff; } When posting: `<p class="red">This text would be in red` `<
   p class="green">This text would be green` Not ideal, and colour changes cannot
   be on the same line, but it works.

 * Do you mean you’re looking for a way to edit the admin area so you can add tags
   with a button like in phpBB?
