Hi Pedro
You've pretty much got it.
* Fields are not currently searchable (but the plan is that they will be)
* Fields are useful for adding a named value to a tiddler; your examples
make sense
* Fields can be transcluded as you infer: {{!!color}} or <$transclude
field="color"/>
Tags are incredibly powerful on their own, and you may well find that they
meet most of your needs, but fields do make database-like applications a
lot easier.
Best wishes
Jeremy
