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

As Jonathon pointed out...after sorting in Folders, Collections are where my time is spent, so that's where the colors are needed.

Right John.  I just hope they're reading these comments.  Folders for me are just a starting point.  Collections are what I really need color coded.

These are all excellent suggestions on how to implement and enhance color coding of folders, collection sets and collections.  Number 1, of course, is to enable color coding of collection sets and collections - seriously missing from the overwhelming request we've all had.  Thank you!

Thank you Adobe for starting to implement this feature. Could you please complete it by adding collections and sets. Ie we want to see those in colour too. Collections are where I spend most of my time after an initial sort from the folder structure. 

Could you please also let us change the labels from the default set used to tag our photos? I want to use a traffic light system to show me at a glance what needs working on. This does not match up with the Metadata set I use for photos. We can already have several metadata sets (Metadata, Color Lable set). Please let us use a different set for folders. A few more colours would be useful too.

Finally, the colours are rather subtle, only coloured at the far right of the folder name. In 'Library View Options' there's the option to 'Tint grid cell with label colors'. Ie this adds a lot more colour to the grid view. Could we please have a similar option for folder labels? I would like to see the whole folder name in colour, not just a tiny, easy missable part. 

Great start and looking forward to little more to optimise the functionality. Appreciated. 🙂

It's now 7 years since I made this request. The level of support for it has been extraordinary.

I cannot believe that Adobe have only half implemented it.

I am well aware that they have a difficult job and that someone will always be 
"picky" about changes they make. But in this case you really have to wonder if they understand how people use their product.

I suspect the normal workflow for almost all users is to import in to a folder structure then refine, sort, categorize and catalogue within collections.

It is not difficult to work out that the most useful place for colour coding is in collections. The reaction so far indicates this is the case.

COME ON ADOBE  ...  LISTEN TO YOUR USERS!

Yves - I understand your point - however, I suggest you just think of colors at the collection or folder level as meaning one set of things (such as status of processing), while at the photo/image level as something else.
