Hi a_mumford,
Using tags is a great way to stay organized. I use this feature quite a bit. I've linked to an article which explains how to use and edit them:
OS X Yosemite: Use tags to organize files
Edit tags
In the Finder, choose Finder > Preferences, click Tags, then do any of the following: 
See a tag in the Finder sidebar: Select the blue checkbox to the right of the tag. 
Change a tag color: Click the color next to the tag , then choose a new color. 
Change a tag name: Click the tag, click the tag’s name, then enter a new name.
Create a new tag: Click Add . 
Delete a tag: Select the tag, then click Remove . 
Add a tag to the shortcut menu: Select the tag in the list, then drag it over the tag you want to replace in the favorites section at the bottom of the window. There can be up to seven tags in the shortcut menu that appears when you Control-click a file. 
Remove a tag from the shortcut menu: Drag the tag out of the Favorite Tags section until you see a puff of smoke.
