 yes, colors can be minted, and they are only useful to the extent you remember the colors of the people you are following.

I could probably remember 20 or 30, so not really useful.

 The whole point of a follow is that you don't have to remember anything about them. 

That's why you literally bookmark them.

 Colours are useful: 
- to find yourself
- to find someone new 
(I'm pippelina. Pink pippelina 😎)
- for imposter detection services
(If pfp, bio, last digits of npub, color, ... match with an earlier created profile)

 creation date for npubs can be faked as well, unless they are using Open timestamp or something like that.

And even if they couldn't be faked, they don't mean shit, because I can create Apple npub
