The neutral color (#4) looks to be in the majority here, and as mentioned before, the color doesn't have to jump out and be super bright, just different. So, that will be the new chat mod color then.

As for putting badges on chat mods, forums mods, posts etc... I have no idea how that would be implemented, even though that would make it easier to tell staff members from regular members when posting in forums if there were no colors. All staff member already have a tag in the profile that lets people know they are either chat moderators, forum moderators, etc...
