It depends on what kind of marker you use obviously. If you find a color that matches the texture, you can get good results. Even if you overlay the flap with the neighbouring color, it depends on how you score your folds: if you only indent the paper, it will work, but if you scratch the paper, or even cut the top layer of the cardstock, you will still get white edges. And if you try to glue colored tabs, the ink will probably run and make a mess: it's why most tabs (on models that you print yourself made by designers who think about stuff like this) are white, and don't have the color of the neighbouring faces. ;)
The BEST solution is to use colored cardstock. Not many models have solid colors though, most are textured. Some Gundams only have lines and you need to print them on colored cardstock (red, blue, yellow, white). Obviously you won't get white lines then. ;) Don't know if it looks good if you print a textured model on colored cardstock, depends on which color and the textures of course.
