What's the meaning of these coloring?
If there's any I would suggest to tag according to meaning instead of according to colors. If the mapping color<>meaning isn't standardized, I would even more suggest to tag the meaning, but document in more detail (=> with local references).
as far as i can tell, the purpose is visibility and the colors are not standardized.

the use case for the data is that firefighters arrive on a scene in an unfamiliar area, bring up an openfiremap like application on a tablet, and see where the hydrants are and what color they are. being an unfamiliar area they may not know what color to look for, and sometimes jurisdictions have changed color schemes and not gone back and repainted older
hydrants.
