No it's not, it's appeal to the majority, otherwise known as "argumentum ad populum" and it's a fallacious argument.
Even if it wasn't fallacious - for example if the question was not if it should be reimplemented but if majority of people
already playing the game want it reimplemented, the poll isn't scientific in any way, because there is now way to tell
if the sample of people who voted are statistically representative in any way to the whole community.
And just because more people think something is right, doesn't make it right.
Crazy:
I would like to point out that if someone is in your Name Colorizing, that means your team has met him before, and you would expect your mates to talk about them, NC is just more convenient way to show it...

First of all, it represents the active part of the community, the one that gives feedback. Moreover, its more probable (regarding to voting and discussions) that more people want NC back than the opposite.

Statistics doesn't lie, appeal to the majority? I wouldn't call that, it's simply that more players think that feature will bring good than bad and don't you think it is for a reason? Opinion witch shares more voice has more weight ultimately, behind those numbers lay individual players, who most probably will hold more chance to have another unique opinion about this due to their higher, raw numbers comparing of the opposing opinion individual group. Those players represent the proportion of all players who think differently than you, look at it that way, your opinion is the 17% and mine is 83%. :)
Just because a lot of players find it fun, doesn't mean you have deny it automatically, because you don't think it's "right" or "wrong", whether you like it or not, it's a matter of opinion for your "game style and balance", there is no general stuff here, it's not black and white.
Don't be so stubborn, just re-implement dat old NC, a lot of players will have mad respect for you and players happy, it's win-win.

There goes your argumentation, verbal destroyer. Speak to a developer, not a girl.
Jovanka, stop throwing latin verbs around, it's just your own opinion placed above everyone else.
Why is it so important anyway to know from where our char knows him? You want no metagaming? Fine. You didn't created the character. He knew that person before he crawled out of some hole. He got that name at a bar, where he was drinking, when you, his own inner voice wasn't ordering him around.
It's. Not. Important.
If it was red and you decided to shoot him it is because he looked dangerous. His inner voice told him so. Not because he was red in a list. Civilizated people like Mayck could decide NOT to shoot him.
Also, please give us the old name colorization back.
