P: Additional color labels

[mastix]

It would be really useful if Lightroom could have more color labels to categorize quickly visually . 5 is a really low number. For example, Davinci Resolve resolve has many more. And this makes it very easy to categorize and quickly filter by color.

It would be even better if you can let us make unlimited labels with the colors we want. For example, 5 different shades of blue , red etc.

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.

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.

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.
