What is 'staff colour'?

i rewrote the Discourse moderator guide for our site and it has a section on staff color. it is to indicate a formal staff post at any time in a topic. say a topic discussion is getting heated and a mod wants to step in with a post that is an official staff post to cool it off, they can use the staff color to indicate this. i use it more than my mods for when i want to highlight a tech or admin related post. today i used it to post an official happy birthday topic to a very longtime well-liked user who is very old. another similar tool is the staff notice, which ads an official staff notice statement header above any post.

also, here are some Discourse guides:
