P: Additional color labels

multiple colour flags for images - making it easy to see at a glance which images are with which agencies. This feature is available in Darktable .

At the moment only one colour label is allowed per image. I t would be really useful to be able to assign 5 or 6 different colour labels so that large stock collections could be managed with each colour label represents an image library or agency. This would make it very easy to see at a glance where images are represented, especially where a single image may be with multiple agancies.

The idea is similar to the little coloured circles used to do this job on slide mounts back in the days of film.

The feature is availble in Dark Table - but not a greaat implementation - ideally labels need to be a bit bigger - same size as stars. Screen grab:

No other image management software offers this.

I think it would be better to use common color labels not only in Lightroom but also in Bridge and increase the number of colors.

Some users have said they would like to use 20 colors.

Adding more colors would be great. Allowing custom color selection -- a pop-up color picker with hex/rgb/cymk/hsb -- and naming via the existing Edit Color Label Set interface would be a seemingly easy upgrade with a huge upside in terms of organization and flexibility. Would be a huge bonus to be able to assign Alt+1/2/3/4/etc or Ctrl+1/2/3/4/etc for the additional colors as well.

It could look like this:

Keywords can do some of the work of labeling for filtering and selecting, but the visual cue of the color border in the Grid and Filmstrip are very useful for me when scanning through and getting a broad sense of groupings, and keywords don't do that. So I'd love to see more color labels and more control over them.

An simple idea to improve labels considerably. 

1. Improve the strength of the colour. Currently they are so weak its laughable. Yellow should be a strong yellow, not a dirty grey.

2. Custom Label colours. Five colours is way too few. Allow custom colours where the user can generat ehowever many they choose. Why it's only five is baffling.
