> Both the p and np tags have gray color?

Yes.

Actually, I'd like to use a light gray color for periodic tasks and a 
dark gray color for non-periodic tasks, but I can't choose correctly a 
pair of gray colors that result in the same background color. That is, I 
can't understand how background colors are generated.

I can add @p and @np tags manually when I create a task, no need for GTG 
to add them automatically. But I'd like a way to easily check if I 
forgot to add either @p or @np to some tasks.

I do not want to give @p/@np a color because that interferes with @1 
(red) / @2 (yellow) / @3 (green) priority tags.

I don't really like to add fake periodic/non-periodic meta-tasks to the 
task list, because they are tasks that are meant to remain forever, and 
should never be dismissed/removed. I'd like instead to dismiss every 
task in my GTG one day :).

It seems the best option to me.
