Agree, there no regexes at first. But is it possible to query this tagging
scheme? Lets say you have
color[1]=purple
color[2]=orange
color[3]=green

How do you query for green in overpass? In JOSM?

And what if for another object you will have different set of tags with
different order?
color[1]=black
color[2]=green
color[3]=white

Thats why I was always suggesting this approach:
color:*<actualcolorvalue>*=yes

This is not array, but set. There semantic in key part of key=value. I.e.
this is very similar to what OSM was always doing, no need for numeric
indexes in keys IMO. It was mentioned in this discussion already.
