Color tabs in Firefox

Konsole already supports setting the background color of the current terminal
by outputting an escape code within the terminal, example shell command: 

    echo -ne '\e]11;#0000ff\a'

...this sets the terminal background color to hex code #0000ff (blue).

It would be awesome if something similar could be done for Konsole's tabs. 
This would make them much easier to tell apart quickly without needing to read
them every time, and make switching tabs very efficient, easily when logged
into lots of different hosts.

This would also make it easy for people to write simple shell scripts etc that
automatically set the tab color based on hostname, username and lots of other
things.

I've attached an example screenshot of a Firefox plugin that lets the user set
tab background colors.
