Can we please bring back the colored labels for names of files, folders and for calendar entries. The 'tag' dots simply do not stand out when scanning the screen.

We can't do anything about colored labels

I agree with you, but that doesn't help. You can send feedback to Apple at

You won't get a response but your message will be read.

Look at these.

I believe these will solve your problem.

Folks are trying to be helpful with workarounds for the label coloring issue, but third party solutions don't work in a global network environment that rely on easily identifiable color coded files and not some tiny dot near said file that can barely be seen. Also installing third party apps (especially in a corporate environment) is not an option, especially not for every machine that already had the function before Apple decided to break it.

Apple needs to bring back color LABELS and leave tags as is for anyone who wishes to use them.

We've all been sending feedback to Apple ever since labels were dropped - you'll find threads in the Mavericks forum.

I too wish to have labels back, but I don't think we're ever going to get them. It would be nice to have them as an option so that those who like the dots can keep them

Both XtraFinder and TotalFinder have grown increasingly unstable, and since El Capitan, they can only be run with SIP partially disabled.
