  Mine works something like this:

  
  

  function make_player( arg )

  - adds 'arg' as a key to table 'players' such that players.arg.afflictions / players.arg.vars / players.arg.circle / players.arg.profession are valid arguments.

  - circle is assigned manually on creation of the argument, and can be switched with a different function

  
  

  function make_colors()

  - called on startup

  - iterates through 'players' and for each key (that is, each player), assign a collection of tempTrigger()s in the following format:

  - eden.eadb.highlights[arg][i] = tempTrigger( arg..suffixes[i], [[selectString(']]..arg..[[', 1) fg(']]..color..[[') resetFormat()]] )

  - the argument 'color' is selected from a table of circle = color, ie. "D" = "maroon"

  
  

  function target( arg )

  - kills the associated color triggers for the argument, and reassigns new ones based on assigned target color (red)

  I use that one there. It is easy enough to customise for orgs as well
  Make a table linking orgs to colour names
  Then do something like:
  
  if fgc == "Antioch" then fgc = theColourTable[fgc] end
  
  Then instead of supplying the function with specific colour names, you can feed it an org name instead.
