I use several computers and use Thunderbird on all of them but it seems that my customized tags aren't carried over to the new devices. I could just set up the tags on each device but it takes time and colors matter to me.

In your Thunderbird Profile folder is a file called "prefs.js". It contains user preferences like this. You can take a copy of this file from one computer and replace that file in the Profile folders of the other computers.

Thunderbird must not be running when that file is replaced.

Find & open your Thunderbird Profile folder: Thunderbird menu: Help: Troubleshooting Information (If you cannot see the Thunderbird menu, press the Alt key or F10 key on your keyboard to show the menu) Under "Application Basics", beside "Profile Folder", click the "Show Profile" button.
