Preview the Color Label Options

Yes that is definitely something that would help.
By the way, Eric, you can change the „esoteric names“ in the settings 😉

I agree. A swatch book is far more intuitive than a list of words for picking colors. Especially when half the colors have very esoteric names.

I always set label color to separate clips in timeline. But I never remember the color name. I have to try every single item in the Label menu until I found the color that I want. If there are sample colors in the menu will make it a lot faster.

I do a lot of grouping of clips by Label/color, and it drives me insane not being able to see the actual color when pulling up the Label menu. What is "Caribbean," anyway!?

would be helpfull!

would be helpful!

Please, please make this change!!

I like to change my clip colors by right clicking a clip or group of clips in the timeline, going to >label> then selecting the label color. With all of the new color options I have a hard time remembering which color is which, and which color I've selected for specific characters, locations, or scenes in my timeline. Would be great just to have a small swatch next to the color name to quickly identify!

I'd like to see both options as the OP suggested.
It's like the same idea as in the general 'Project'-window a small box with the label color inside, and next to it the name (of the folder/file).

I hope this suggestion comes through!

Can we just get rid of the names and just show the colors in the label menu option please?
