I disagree. Outside the chat chatmods don't/can't do anything that important that it's comments get a color. The comment thing is, in first place, to see if there's something important - whcih in most cases comes from admins. Of course other users have important stuff to say too, but not just chatmods (who are outside the chat on the same level of ability as normal users) do, so it'd be unfair to highlight them, and you can't highlight everyone, or it wouldn't be highlighting anymore.
