(Some) pipelines maintain a color ordering TSV (measles example) which is then combined with a colour scale (always the canonical nextstrain one as far as I'm aware) via a rule / script. This colors.txt file (deme + hex) is then used by augur export.
It would be much simpler if augur export v2 just read the color ordering directly. This is probably best as a colors.txt file without hexes, but you could also extend the auspice-config JSON to provide a scale without hexes.
