P: Color collections and collection sets to simplify navigation & cataloging

I think after waiting 5 years already, people are allowed a moan ... it'd be a low-risk modification to LR with high-visibility results. Maybe LR 11?

Those who suggest it's a no brainer to code; you guys have coding experience with the LR product line?

I understand the want bumps for a feature, really I do. I've got a long list too. It's out of our hands. Make the request and move on (to using LR or another product). It's not like this 'idea' is so new and clever, no one inside the LR team thought of it too. They clearly don't have it high up on their list of 'features' to support. Maybe LR7?

I dunno guys, this one seems like a no-brainer to implement. Perhaps it hasn't been seen by a decision maker at Adobe?

I too have been requesting this type of color coding for both Folders and Collections for quite a while. How long must it take for a simple update like this?

It seems as though Adobe doesn't care about user input and small parts of a workflow. I think they are only interested in adding bigger features that are selling points...

Come on Adobe!! It's been over 5 years since this suggestion has been made. It really doesn't seem that hard to implement this in some way shape or form. The inability to do this really makes my workflow klunky and inefficient. A simple color to the folder really doesn't seem that hard to add. As an ultra basic implementation just piggyback it off of the OS folder color (I assume you can do that in Windows as well??) and you're done. Can y'all at least even say if you're considering or working on this please?

Color labels are great for photos and used for a variety of indicators, such as "Green" meaning all edited, tagged and ready for export. Or "Yellow" needing tagging.

It would be awesome if the list of folders and collections in the Library had a the same label option for each folder.

Then you could flag a whole folder as Yellow and know it needed tagging. Or Green and it's all done with no further work needed.

JFriedl made a plugin called Folder Status which allows setting statuses on folders, however you have to open the plugin to see what the status is for a folder, which makes it hard to see at a glance where that set of folders is up to.

The whole folder row could be highlighted by the user right-clicking and selecting a Label, or another way would be to have an indicate it would be for the folder to have icons for the labels of the pictures *within* the folder.
I've mocked up both styles as images attached.

I'd really like to see colored highlights on the folders in the Folders and Collections sections in Lightroom in the Library Module similar to the way in which I can add color ratings to thumbnails. This way I can immediately locate particular folders such as my Portfolio, Family etc. As it now stands the best I can do is to put these in all capital letters to draw my attention so I can locate them quickly. Please consider this for a future update.

+1 from me ^^
I was thinking about this since I started using LR3 and sadly, it's still not implemented.

Would be awesome if there would be both Color Labels and Ratings !

I would like the ability to right-click on a folder or keyword in Lightroom and assign it a color, much like the existing ability to right-click on a layer in Photoshop and assign the layer a color.
