Is there any way to take advantage of this? If my dwarfs like the color red does that mean they will enjoy ruby encrusted kaolinite furniture? (more than the average dwarf anyway).

Do colors currently interact at all?

I've been looking into my dwarfs preferences a lot recently. I was disappointed when my level 20 engraver only seems to make engravings of pigs (which he likes) every 100-300 engravings. I was expecting pig engravings everywhere!

pigs are rather simple, they tend to be lower quality engravings, so highly skilled engravers won't make too many of them

Kaolinite doesn't have a colour specified and rubies are scarlet. I don't think that the colour names in colors.txt count, only the ones in descriptor_color_standard.txt.

Rubicelles, pinfire opals, and any gem whose name starts with 'red' are red. Redroot dye is brown as a powder, but dyes red. Goblin-caps have red wood. There may be others lurking in the raws.

I suspect that a colour preference has the same effect on item quality as a material preference or an object preference, but there are so many colours that I've never tried to pin down a task for a colour-liking dwarf. I guess you could make your dwarf a carpenter and see if their goblin-cap items are any better than those they don't have a colour or material preference for.

There are more color preferences than actual available shades in DF I think.
