Colored Portable Cells

Describe the feature

The portable cell's "terminal" should be colorable by crafting it with a dye, similarly to placing a Terminal on a colored Cable.

Reasons why it should be considered

This would allow the player to more easily differentiate the portable cells in their inventory, if multiple were present.

Additional details

Given that all Portable Cells share the same footprint, the texture could be an "overlay" over where the screen is placed. This would lessen the amount of textures needed to be made (16 additional textures total vs 16 new textures per Portable Cell type)

I don't really like the idea of adding 160 new items to the mod. But I can definitely see the use case for such a feature.

An interesting idea from Discord is to allow coloring them like leather armor. The same system could be applied to memory cards too.
