This isn’t a problem per se, but worth noting before you change anything if you already have applied color labels. If I were to switch away from the Lightroom Default color label set to one of the others, or my own custom set, the tint around that thumbnail will go away, but the word “yellow” will remain in the metadata. That means if I had previously applied a yellow color label to a photo, that photo will have a yellow tint around the thumbnail and the word “yellow” inserted into the Label field of the Metadata panel. Note, that if you do this, any photos that had previously had a color label applied using a different set will lose the color representation (color goes to white, which is no color), though the old label will remain in that photo’s metadata. It is also possible to enter your own custom labels into each field, and save that as a new set. These different labels may start to give you ideas about how you might make better use of the color labels too. You’ll see that there are different labels associated with each of the colors in each set. Click the Preset dropdown menu and look at the labels for Bridge Default and Review Status. Looking at the Lightroom Default set, you will see that each color label is simply assigned the name of its color. If you click on Edit it will open the Edit Color Label Set dialog box. There is also an Edit option at the bottom. Lightroom Default will be checked (by default). If you go to Metadata > Color Label Set, you will see that there are three different color label sets to choose from-Bridge Default, Lightroom Default, and Review Status. It may seem like a distinction without a difference, but the difference could be useful to some. The colors are all the same (red, yellow, green, blue, and purple), but color labels applied to photos have both a visual color we can see around the thumbnail and an associated metadata tag that is also applied to the photo’s metadata space (color labels applied to folders and collections do not do this). What is a Color Label?Ĭolor labels applied to photos are slightly different than the color labels we can apply to folders and collections. In addition to our photos, recent updates have given us the ability to apply color labels to folders and collections too, so I thought it would be worth exploring how we can make the most of those colorful labels. Each of us would answer that question based on our own photography and how we think about our photo libraries, and there is no one right answer. Most importantly, I think of them in terms of what aspects of my photography would be helpful to me to represent visually. Color labels in Lightroom Classic can serve a variety of purposes.
