Label Colors - Unable to Tell What Is Enabled Disabled

Newest Adobe 24.5.0 (Build 57)

There's an update to the Label colors which has rendered it impossible to decipher which video clips are enabled and disabled. The disabled colors used are too similar to other colors, especially when those clips are also disabled.

I do agree the colors could use a bit of a fresh update, but please kindly find a way to make it even easier to know which clips are Enabled/Disabled. I'm sure many editors are going to find extremely taxing to their workflow. 

 

Thank you!

Hi pheenx01,

You make an excellent point. I'll add that relying solely on color to indicate state changes isn't accessible. In the old color scheme, it was more apparent because the disabled colors were familiar and easily recognizable. We recognize that the current update has made it difficult to distinguish between enabled and disabled clips. We will take a closer look at this issue and bring it to the team's attention. Thank you for highlighting this important aspect of usability.

Thank you, 
Chris

Thank you for your input, the latest beta has a better color differentiation. We will continue to integrate the feedback that color alone is not enough. Thanks again, Chris

Apologies if this has already been fixed in the latest Beta but clip names don't always fade when disabled. 

For instance, the clip on the left of the CTI is clearly disabled, but the one on the right?

Might want change the label setting to Classic if you have a hard time with these dark colors.
