Customize Task Colors on My Tasks

It would be really helpful to have the option to add more colors and personalize the color coding for Hive tasks in My Actions.
Right now, the red, yellow, and white choices are quite limited and generic when users try to sort tasks by due dates. One suggestion could be letting users customize the date range for when the colors apply, based on when tasks start and when they're due.
By allowing two or more additional colors, users could really tailor their task organization and prioritize them according to start and due dates.

For example, in my typical workflow, if a PM or similar assigns a task with a date range, I often lose that task at the bottom with my upcoming daily tasks and maintenance tasks until it comes into range for the current day. It would be nice to be able to quickly glance tasks in the table view that are approved to start working on for the current date by having them be green for "This isn't due today, but you can work on it now if you have time to work ahead."
I have a lot of tasks that are assigned to me but are date specific, such as to archive a website and remove from the server at a future set date. But for tasks that have date ranges, they get lost in the shuffle. Having those show up green and directly underneath the yellow tasks for the current day would be wonderful.
