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

[Update: Color labels for folders were added in LR 7.4 --John Ellis]

I find it difficult to navigate folders and collections in the LH panel. To some extent this is because I (unwisely) chose to use similar naming conventions.If it were possible to allow users to "Colour code" folders and collections it would make navigation much easier and also give me another way of "cataloging" photos.My suggestion would be a small colour indicator, rather like the online/offline indicator but round instead of oblong.

    While an interesting interim solution, using be careful of placement as if used at the beginning of a collection name, that affects the sort order of the collections or folders. Still don't have a clue why Adobe can't implement a color coding capability for folders and collection sets and collections .  We've been asking for this for years - and been totally ignored!

    I have so many folders and collections that I would REALLY LOVE the ability to color label folders and collections to speed up my navigation and work flow.

    Like so many others, I would like to see color coding of folders and collections  - not with little dots like in MAC OS, but with full highlighting.  And as a follow-on with color coding, we'd need filtering to be able to select, filter or group folders by their color.  Just color coding, however, would be a great start.

    Look at the NEW Lightroom CC, they completely removed the ability to add color labels to photos!  Adobe clearly could care less about this and all we can do is put in feature requests and hope our voice is heard...
