Personally, I use history for menu structure. In your case I would imagine that #chat would take you to a list and #chat/123 would take you to an actual room. 'color=red' would either be kept in the user's settings, or possibly in a cookie for users who don't log on. But I'd probably think 'if they can't be bothered to log on, then stuff it - one more reason to sign up.' :-)
