I added thousands of photos (other than those in Synced Catalogs) and now I cannot differentiate them other than by the standard filters provided because I have used color labels to identify certain criteria. Color labels are just as important as Flags, Please add them!

@william_wysong 

There is no color lables in Lightroom Mobile when files imported into cloud via Lightroom Classic.

That is the issue.

Here's the existing feature request for color labels: https://feedback.photoshop.com/conversations/lightroom-desktop-cloudbased/lightroom-ecosystem-add-color-labels/5f5f45df4b561a3d4264656d

For your other requests, would you like to expand a little more on what you're looking for specifically?

Rick, I've been asking for years for color folders in Lightroom and Photoshop. Can you get that done?

Hey, Family:

Please stop asking for color labels; they are already in Lightroom.

What I want are COLOR FOLDERS. And I want them for Photoshop too.

Color labels, keyword labeling painter, select multiple and label. Automatic labeling from EXIF data, more search options. It would be nice, thanks

@Rick are you actually using these products? In Classic the feature is already present

I'd like to post another request for the most useful (and visual) of the rating, flagging, labeling methods - color labels!  For those of us with visual impediments, color labels have been crucial over the years - it's so much easier to discern the difference between the color red and the color green than to count the number of dots at the bottom of an image to see if it's 2 or 3. 

Please Adobe, be kind to the visually challenged, and bring this feature you've had for decades into the cloud Ecosystem.

Working in IT, I'm reallw supprised that a so simple feature is still not implemented.

I will try to explain how I'm working.
In lightroom , after import and after deciding which image I will rework (I use the star rating for it) then I create a virtual copy of this image.
The imported one is flagged with a Yellow Label.
Then I do my post processing in Lightroom. I flag my image in purple.
Maybe I will edit a copy in Denoise and flag it in Purple.
Then I edit in Photoshop a new copy. After being back this copy is also flagged in Purple.
At the end maybe I will have still some adjustment or not, I will flag my final version with a green label.

And maybe I will crop my image in different format (new virtual copies) depending of the support (Instagram feed, story) and flagged them in blue.

So at the end, I have a clear view of each of my big steps 
So I can publish easily an image for each step in a tutorial.

If I want to work on my images on Ligthroom CC, I can't because I can't differentiate a similar image to another because I haven't my color labels.

For exemple, I will work on 20 images on Lightroom Classic and then go on a Business trip.
I would expect to be able to publish some of them on Instagram, but I will have nothing to help me to filter the images and see which one are the final version

We want our color labels back please!  The idea that Adobe would drop an organizational metadata element like that that it’s users have invested countless hours into is heartless or thoughtless.
