Hi,

It could be worth considering to enhance a Color chooser plugin a little bit 
and make it as OGR feature style editor.
Idea of OGR styles is the same than with Color chooser (or MapInfo).  A text 
string attribute defines styles for each feature.  The syntax is simple

http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_feature_style.html

And why?  Because if a shapefile contains an attribute named OGR_STYLE and 
values as OGR feature style strings then that shapefile can be used as a styled 
input layer for GDAL.  For example it is possible to take a raster map and a 
styled shapefile and put them together into a georeferenced PDF.  See some 
discussion at
http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?group=gmane.comp.gis.gdal.devel&article=31552

I do not believe there exists a GUI OGR style editor yet. OpenJUMP could be the 
first.
