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.

    Could not agree more the value that color coding at the folder level would bring to my workflow.  Amazed that this request has been going on for over 6 years and nothing has been done.  What will it take for Adobe to implement this function that would bring real value to thousands of users.

    I tried to get them to take action on this by placing a request on the Adobe feedback section of their website.  It seems that with the last update, they have once again ignored us.

    c'mon Adobe, LR is just as much a cataloging tool as it is an image processor. Please put some effort into this and other cataloging feature requests.

    I came here to request the exact same thing.

    It would be so very useful to be able to colour folders depending on editing status or various other personal preferences.
