Well, I'm basing on my experience with around 5-10 MMORPGs from prior to 2015 on this so there might be a few incongruous bits with other MMOs.

Aside from level brackets and relative difficulty warnings, colors may indicate unique natures of certain monsters. In the sense that it would denote the rarity of a specific monster, which may or may not be related to the map or area said monster is located. Aside from this is my previously stated species identifier which may be a game trademark that has no bearings on levels and just game aesthetics. Finally, color may also mark a specific aspect of the monster's nature such as unique abilities, species modifiers, and other distinct traits.
