Some people have suggested getting rid of the names altogether. Doing so is NOT an option since then how can users assign keyboard shortcuts to specific labels? Rather, the colours should have been given 'normal' names from the get-go. The simple addition of colour swatches in the context menu is long overdue.

If this is too difficult (since menu appearance is controlled by the OS) then just default to normal color names. Or keep your "fun" names and have a toggle in preferences where we can switch between your names and normal color names. (It's tedious to do it one by one.)

100% would LOVE this to happen

I agree 100%! This is what it could look like (see image). What are you waiting for Adobe? ;)

I'd like to see this! Looks like it's been 2 ½ years since it was suggested. Come on Slowdobe!

I was just thinking of this. Glad others would find it useful as well. This is a simple but time saving change!

This fix is a gimme. Please employ.

would be helpfull!

would be helpful!

Please, please make this change!!

I'd like to see both options as the OP suggested.
It's like the same idea as in the general 'Project'-window a small box with the label color inside, and next to it the name (of the folder/file).

I hope this suggestion comes through!

Can we just get rid of the names and just show the colors in the label menu option please?

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!!!
