Display small color swatches next to the name of each color label in the context menu. It's not easy to remember the difference between Caribbean and Cerulean!

Umm, yes please.
I use similar colors to relate clips together (or opposite colors to separate). It takes a few guesses to find which ones match.
Very annoying.

Please put a small square with what color the label is next to the color name, not just the color name. Thanks!

This is a cool idea. But I am pretty sure that you can rename the colors in the preferences tab 🙂

...Or at least to put them in alphabetic order!

And I agree with Anonymous, just get rid of the names altogether. Who cares what silly names they are given. But make this optional, since, in a bigger studio, I can imagine it is helpful when it comes to documenting processes to actually have a name to refer to. But for us smaller one-people-bands, it's just a waste of time.

I have wished for this for so long and thought that, hey, Adobe won't be silly enough not to have introduced this with the next version, yet years have gone by and we still don't have this simple, but highly importunate visual aid.

I came here to post this myself, glad it's already been said, it's definitely needed. I can never remember what shade 'cerulean' even is!!

This would be a neat addition, but in the meantime, you can rename Caribbean and Cerulean (and all the color labels) to whatever you want.

Yes! Totally! Seems so obvious to me! And would save a lot of time finding the right one.

Or just get rid of the names altogether! I really don't need to know what Adobe wants to call this shade of green. I just need to know what it looks like!!!
