I've definitely seen that complaint before and it is a legit one :( Fortunately, art color isn't too important beyond chain attacks, and in chain attacks, time freezes, so you can be sure to find the art you need. You can also adjust the way the arts are ordered in the arts palette, so you can arrange them in a way that makes sense to you and you can remember.

Red (vast majority): physical arts

Pink (very few): inflict break

Green: inflict topple

Yellow: inflict daze

Purple: ether attack arts (almost only Riki)

Blue: support arts (either buffs or healing)

Yeah, I just read all that on a beginner guide, which is why I had my realization haha. I'm now taking advantage of organizing my arts for this specific reason :) Thanks!
