Description:
The appropriateness of a query's execution may vary vastly among different servers. Currently, the only distinction Workbench offers is the name of the tab, which abets accidental UPDATEs to replications or expensive SELECTs on production servers.

How to repeat:
(not applicable)

Suggested fix:
It would be helpful to (auto-)assign colours to (groups of) connections that are then used for the background of the SQL editor or at least for the connection-specific tab header (incl. the menu/symbol bar).

If the configurable solution is considered too elaborate, a minimal one could be to give some striking visual indication whether or not one is operating on a server with an incoming replication.
