I was talking about color labels in this post :
viewtopic.php?f=96&t=38191
XnviewMP, Lightroom, Bridge are using 5 colors R Y G B P
- Aperture and Apple photos : 7 colors, Orange and Grey are added
- Digikam 9 colors, Black and White are added
Digikam uses numeric values : Red=1, Orange=2, Yellow=3, Green= 4, Blue=5, Magenta(purple?)=6, Grey=7, Black=8, White=9.
- Photomechanic 8 colors : no black, no white but light blue and dark blue
Last one, Imatch, reads all labels found in metadata, but seems to use only 7 colors
I think that default read/write settings could be the same as Digikam...

A bug remains :
We cannot edit color labels 6,7,8,9 in Settings > Metadata > Color labels.
Even when clicking OK, they get back with default values.
(Edit ... later : one can use a workaround by editing color labels in xnview.ini file)
Suggestion:
I suggest users to rename labels in first column with 1-9 digits like this
- label5.png (15.03 KiB) Viewed 1651 times
.
so that all other menu items will be sorted in alphabetic order
Shortcuts :
this way, the numeric keyboard shortcuts are easy to remember.
.
Toolbar :
- label7.png (24.73 KiB) Viewed 1651 times
instead of being scattered in the list.

It's almost ok.
Now we can save settings, and all labels are correctly displayed in Shortcuts and Toolbars settings.
But for new colors, some entries are missing in View > Rating and Color labels > ... menu
... at the bottom of the list : (orange grey black white) "Move to next image" are missing
