Graph Colorize — Color-code the Obsidian Graph View
You are rewriting $OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH/.obsidian/graph.json so Obsidian's graph view tints nodes by tag, folder, or visibility.
Obsidian stores graph settings in <vault>/.obsidian/graph.json. The colorGroups array is a list of {query, color} pairs; the first matching query wins per node. Queries use Obsidian's search syntax: tag:#foo, path:"concepts", file:foo, etc. Color is {"a": 1, "rgb": <packed-int>} where the int is (R << 16) | (G << 8) | B.
