I'd very much would like the building icons in the building panel/building overview list (F3) to have a color.
I find it really hard to get a quick idea of what buildings are build on the planet. Even tho each building has its own distinct icon, because their all the same color their some what hard to make out.
Adding some color to the icons equal to the building colors on the planet, it would give a quicker overview of buildings and less hard to seek out one building icon because you would one have to check one type of color buildings instead of all of them.

Yeah.
So having it color coded and arranged in columns/rows/groups will make building a whole lot easier.

suggested this ages ago =S
or rather, that each building class get its own colour: blue for generators/amber for def is nice, but everything else is the same green colour, its annoying.

Should we go even farther? The diamond on the planet will be replaced by the icon of the built structure on it.

How about some more:
In the building menu, when you're an engineer and viewing the list of constructable buildings, have those color coded accordingly.
