This plugin has an experimental version available!

Adds a compact toggle to the Layers panel's own toolbar that colours each layer's name according to a user-defined set of rules matching PostgreSQL database or service name, plus fixed colours for GeoPackage and memory/temporary layers. Only real layer rows are coloured -- categorised legend entries beneath a layer are left in QGIS's normal text colour. The Configure dialog's rule table offers database/service names found in currently loaded layers as a dropdown, so rules are normally picked rather than typed.
