P: Add custom colors for colour coding layers and groups

Beyond ridiculous that we are halfway through '23 and we are still limited with this. I want more layer label colors/options.

Thanks for all your upvotes and input. Still staggered this hasn't been looked at....fingers crossed it'll happen some day. I think I'm right in saying Photoshop is the only part of the suite with such a limited range of colour options for labels. Sheesh!

The answer is simple. Enable an ability to use the Swatch Palette to pick from to color layers.

You're absolutely right. Adobe has flirted too long with peripheral functionality in Photoshop without addressing core issues. Organization is one of them and color labelling layers is right up there.

...Absolutely right. I made such a suggestion in a different post myself. In other graphics/compositing software such as the Foundary's Nuke, you have access to any colour you like to be able to label boundary boxes around nodes in a purely visual manner. I think you should be able to do the same for layers in your stack. I would like to use different shades of a colour to denote different aspects to any layers within a given Group.

I agree, this would be a great inprovement.

Adobe, in the 21century color palettes contain 16,7 Mio colors, why limit us to 6 plus grey???? 
I have a new slogan for Adobe: "Keep imagining tomorrow - but please give us more colors today!"

Gentlemen of Adobe, I would just like to remind you that the program still allows you to mark layers and groups with only seven colors. Perhaps someone would like to finally listen to the demands of the people?

Checking in on a thread for something I've nebulously wanted for a long time, I'm surprised it's been asked for for this long in Photoshop while other apps have a similar feature already?

I'm curious if this is a thing that's still on the table for development at any point - the ability to add custom colors would be a lifesaver for me 🙂 

2022 and it's still not there yet.. If only there was at least as many colors to pick from like in Adobe After effects.. Is there any 3rd party plugin or whatever thing that can bring in more color tags please?
