Well it's a compromise to satisfy people who want a prominent non-speaking appearance recognized while also keeping a clear distinction between a speaking and non-speaking role.

In theory there could be an episode about a main character that becomes mute and even if they are the subject of the episode they would have no lines.

Still a distinction between speaking and nonspeaking roles is important. In Hollywood you can get extras for non-speaking roles but if the part involves speaking just one line you have to hire an actor accredited by the Screen Actors Guild.

Maybe the letter should be "S" for a silent prominent appearance. I like cyan / light blue though.
