Colour Labels are gone after moving library to new computer

Community Beginner ,
May 12, 2025 May 12, 2025

Hi,

I've bought a new computer and finally moved my images to an external drive, copied the librabry onto the new computer, reconnected everything and all seems to work.

It found all photos, the picked images, my ratings....however, my colour labels are gone! Any idea where they are stored and how I might be able to get them back? I rely a lot on those for organising the different types of images (TIF, PSD/PSB, JPG). 

Thanks a lot for any help!

P.S. latest Mac OS, LRC etc.

If I remember correctly, then Lightroom Classic has three standard label sets: Lightroom Default, Bridge Default and Review Status. You probably have another set selected in the catalog on the new computer. Switch to the set you used on the old computer and your labels should appear again. Metadata - Color Label Set.

Do you mean the colour labels are missing or that they're white?

What I've coloured so far is all gone but I can re-colour eveything from LRC. I also didn't have custom colours, just the standard ones (as far as I remember). Thanks!
