It's purely for your own imagination.  If you outfit your entire guard with red cloaks, they look the same in game (clearly), but you as an overseer can picture them in their bold red cloaks.  It's really only utilized by more serious players with a knack for extreme micromanagement, since the only way to reliably dye a set of clothing involves a complicated working of stockpiles and hauling to ensure that JUST THE RIGHT dyes and clothes are at hand, and nothing else.

Presumably, Toady will add more detailed workshop orders (i.e., the ability to select certain items for certain jobs rather than the current "grab whatever is closest"), and this feature will be immensely more useful for players.
