I need more tags than the 7 colors that come with macOS Monterey. Is there a way I can add more colors? Can I add other symbols? Are there any other options? It needs to be visual. Behind the scenes coding like creating a green A, B & C won't work, unless it's clear, by looking at the tab, as it appears next to the file name, that the tab is the green A or the green B, etc.

What dialabrain said. Tags are a Finder extended attribute and will be stripped from tagged files when those files are placed on filesystems and Cloud services (e.g. Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) that remove them.
Find Spotlight indexed files that have a red and purple tag on them.
tags:red and tags:purple
In English, and specifically, German-speaking countries, where Tag is defined as day in the locale dictionary, one must use the full Spotlight keyword directly, or separated as previously by a conjunction (e.g. and, or). In either of these examples, tag name strings may be defined/activated in Finder Preferences > Tags with an available color assigned to it.
kMDItemUserTags:red
Although Spotlight does not support regular expressions, or wildcards the following is sufficient to locate a file whose tag name string is Important:

You can add as many Tags as you like in Finder > Preferences > Tags. Click the +
You can assign a color to a new tag but only one of the colors available by control/right clicking on the new tag.
Just to be clear, you cannot add colors.
I can add them, but they are colorless and I don't see them next to my file when i choose them.
