You can't add a custom color, but you can add custom labels which will flag the photos with a white label in the content pane.

th=new Thumbnail(File);

th.label=MyLabel;

MyLabel is simply a text string. For each file that you set with a custom label, the label will show as a blank white label for the image file. However, if you open up your filter panel and filter by Labels, each custom label you set will be listed so you can choose the filter to view only those images.

For example, as part of my work flow I give the clients the option to choose the order that they would like me to finish their photos. They do this on my website which creates a simple text file that lists their choices in the order they picked. My script then downloads the text file and iterates through it line by line labeling each image file in order with "Edit 1" "Edit 2" "Edit 3" "Edit 4" etc. Then I look in my Filter panel under the Labels section and they are all listed there. You can have more than one image file with the same label name.

I hope this helps you.

I think you will find the answer is NO… Script is not going to be able to add extra labels to the app for you… It can only use whats already there as part of the app… If you need more put in a feature request…
