For Cards View, this can be done with css:

.card-container {
    background-color: var(--tag-color) !important;
}


To make just the card text have the tag colour:

.card-container {
    color: var(--tag-color) !important;
}

The css is necessary for Cards View, which displays a small card icon with the colour of the tag. Table View shows the list with coloured text by default.
