In version 4.0 you can define custom Color Schemes to be used many places. One simple example of this is color-coding the Site and/or Type columns of the Rack for better clarity of the type of site, or even change the color based on some other attribute of the site. It would be easy to get carried away with the possibilities, so you probably want to keep it simple and just consider the most important factors.
There's already a sample color scheme that you can import, which colors the sites by Site Type. With a little experimentation in the sample and by changing the field used in the expressions, you could define different colors for each site, or different colors based on some other site attribute field like "50A".
First you need to import the sample -- see the documentation under Maintenance / Advanced Customizations / Color Schemes for basic info and information on importing the samples. Here's an online link:
http://campgroundmaster.com/help/colorschemes.html
The sample file to look for when importing is "Sample Color Scheme - Rack sites, by type".
Once you have the sample imported, go to Maintenance / Advanced Customizations / Select Global Color Schemes. For the entry "Override Site headings with color scheme", select the color scheme imported above and then Save it. Assuming you still use any of the original Site Types, then some of the sites should change color. To tailor it to your own Site Types pick list entry names, go back to the Color Schemes setup and edit the rules for each color -- e.g. change the names in the Condition expression to match the actual Site Types you use. Of course you can also change the colors used, as well as add or delete colors, etc. as needed.
