What is AWS console regions color?

AWS console regions color is a unique Chrome extension designed to change the AWS console header color in accordance with the region that has been selected by the user. It thus provides a visual hint to users, aiding them in avoiding the creation of resources in incorrect regions. The extension also adds a corresponding country flag and region code next to the name of the region. Please note, while this tool enhances the usability of the AWS console, for optimized usage of AWS cloud, consider using the CLI or Cloudformation. The required 'tabs' privilege allows the extension to dynamically update header colors and does not collect any user data.
