Could be possible in quite a few games, but not in others. In Saboteur for example it would be a bad idea and lead to a lot of confusion, as communication is needed. Some players dont use the name but rather the colour to address people ("I think red is a sab")
In some other games' chats I have seen texts as "Well done, green" or "we need to stop blue" or stuff like that. Really wouldn't work anymore, then.
But nevertheless I like your idea as then it doesnt happen anymore that you think you got some colour, collect cards for that, to then only see you were wrong...
I've seen that happen, as well. So, yeah, I think I like your idea, as well
