Gmail has recently added many new features and one of them is color labels. You can use the labels just like folders, except it’s better. You can name your labels accordingly, and assigned them to your e-mails. Alternatively, you can create filters for incoming mails and have them automatically labeled.

To create a label, just check the e-mails you want to label and click on "more actions" and then "new label".
