Labeling Players

Alright I just finished a short ZOOM session. Made a BI @ 25NL. Not much compared to what some make but I'm happy to turn a profit. I have been taking the time to label players for obvious reasons. ZOOM I find, however, is a bit of a challenge to label players since everything moves so fast. I have quite the selection of colors set out on the PS client, probably too many actually. I'll go through what I have and describe how I select them. Any input on refining this is much appreciated.

Yellow- Aggro Fish. Title says it all for this one. Someone who is 3-betting a lot and raising a lot, c-betting and barelling. Not to be confused though with a good player...these guys take it too far.
Green- Passive Fish. Calling stations, limping, giving up on hands easily.
Light Blue- Fish. Someone I don't have any info on but is showing fishy tenancies. No auto-top-off. I use this for ZOOM if there is no top off on. This has resulted in a very blue lobby---see pic below. Don't know how effective it is at the moment.
Dark Blue- Whale. Extremely high VPIP, limping, open shoving rags, bluffing...we all know the definition of the whale.
Purple- LAG. VPIP between 20-30% but has consistent PFR and 3-bet Stats. Not a aggro fish, understands the game from what I can tell at least.
Red- TAG. VPIP between 12-19%. Same as LAG comments.
Orange- NIT. VPIP between 9-12%. Only plays top hands.
Brown- Super NIT. I made this one up myself. I have ran into a decent amount of these players. VPIP under 9%. Basically playing AJ+, JJ+.
Black- Solid Reg. Depends on the info I have on them. If I have history then I'll use that, if not, Gold Star plus is the min to mark them as black.
Grey- Weak Reg. Again same as above but has some serious leaks. Gold stars+ with no auto top off.

So there you have it. It's a lot to remember but it works for me since I'm used to it and have just added more colors over the last little while as I played more. These are just guidelines I use and I do change colors on ppl as I grow a history with them. The big thing for me is going to be figuring out the ZOOM ones as I don't have HEM working for ZOOM yet.
