I usually use
bright green for VT
, regular
green for town PR
,
red for mafia goon
,
a darker red for mafia PR


but given the prevalence of red/green colour blindness, in a game with 13 players there's roughly a fifty-fifty chance that at least one player will be colour blind (higher, actually, since there are more men than women on this site). So it might be better to adopt a scheme like
blue town
,
deepskyblue town PR
vs
red mafia
,
coral mafia pr


or
lime VT
green town PR
orange mafia goon
orangered mafia pr
.

Or we could do like traffic lights do and have
teal town
and
orange red mafia


I'm not colourblind though so I don't know for sure how well these solutions would work.
The failure mode of clever is asshole.
