Some use cases:

I am using different colors for bookmarks (e.g. "to visit", "favourite", "update in OSM" etc) and I would like to keep them in different lists also, but I'm too lazy to spend a few clicks more to each bookmark (just changing a color is a tedious process already!). The same goes for people who are using lists, but are to lazy to change the color as well.

My friend is using many colors for bookmarks and sometimes forgets which color is for what :) A "colored" list name will act like a note.

How it should work:

Every bookmark list has an optional color assignable by the user (no color by default).
This color is assigned by default to all new bookmarks created in the list.
If the current set is not "colored" then use the current logic of the most recently used bookmark color.
A user can change bookmark's color individually still, i.e. its possible to have bookmarks with different colors in one list.
If user changes list's assigned color then bookmarks which had the same color as list's are updated (e.g. individually colored bookmarks are not changed).

Hence people who doesn't want any behavior changes won't have any.
Other people will benefit from a more streamlined / faster bookmarks organization.

Hello, I would also like to be able to assign a color to the list of bookmarks.

I can think of a new color for the bookmarks, something like "List color", or "By List". And in the lists settings, in addition to the name and description, a color which may be random by default.

Thanks for the app.

White can be used for this new color if the bookmark is not currently in any list.

This was discussed in chat, the offered spec was:

Make the default folder's color as none for all folders that was before and the new ones (or just don't even create the parameter to look at it's existence at first);

Colors of all bookmarks that were before will get their color values as before;

New bookmark:
3.1. Will receive the color that was assigned to previously created bookmark (i.e. as it is implemented now) if the last bookmark wasn't placed in folder with custom color;
3.2. Will receive folder's color if the last bookmark was placed inside this folder;
3.3. If user will choose custom color, bookmark will stay with this color, despite of folder it's placed in;
3.4. Term 3.2 overrides term 3.3, i.e. if the last created bookmark was with custom color, but the new one is placed inside the folder with custom color, the new one will get folder's color;

Inheritance:
4.1. If bookmark has it's color, the color won't be overriden with the folder's color;
4.2. If bookmark hasn't it's color, it'll be overriden with the folder's color

There is also another option: to make a button that changes all bookmarks colors in the list to the one specified.
