Lagrange does this too: it chooses a Unicode character and a color when you load a document from a new host, and remembers it.
And in the upcoming v1.2, you get to change the icon to whatever character you want via the GUI. There is a simple input field that accepts a single character.

Adventurous users might even write a script that goes through the bookmarks.txt file and attempts to fetch the favicon.txt of each bookmark, if that is something one finds useful. I don't currently have plans to implement automated or manual fetching of these via the app.
As I mention in the linked comment, IMO the user should ultimately be in control of bookmark (site) icons so that they can be used to convey a personal meaning. Unicode characters / Emoji can be open to interpretation; when selecting the set of random icons that Lagrange uses I tried to keep them somewhat neutral, with varying levels of success.
My longer term plan is to allow further customization for site theming, including setting per-site color themes.
