Adding color labels to folders

I have a folder named MyPictures - inside that folder are folders that are named with the date pictures are taken. So I have probably a hundred folders in MyPictures.

So do you see all those folders in the Folders Panel of Lightroom?

Have you actually imported photos into Lightroom from those "hundred" folders?

I want to add color labels to each, but I only see one folder in MyPictures and it's the folder with the current catalog.

Do your photos get stored in the catalog folder?

You can add a color label to each, but why would you? It is a means to limit the view of folders by filtering.

You can select multiple folders ( Ctrl+click, or Click>Shift+click) to add the same color label.

So HOW do I view ALL folders?  If I can't see ALL folders then adding color labels is a USELESS feature!

Are you expanding the folder tree to show sub-folders? Are you scrolling down the folder panel?

Not useless!- Useful to limit the folders in the Folder Panel to those marked with a color label.

Show us some screen-clips to illustrate what you see in Lightroom.

eg. a Right-click to add a color label-

eg. CLicking the magnifier (filter options) to view only 'Labeled Folders'-

eg. The 'limited filtered' view of folders showing only those with a color label-
