Thanks, never knew that. But I remain of the opinion that this is an example of Apple flunking its own rules. Another problem with the proposal is storage. It should be stored in a bibtex field, so it would interfere with user defined fields. Another field type is not really a good option, as there really can be only one color label. Of course this can be overcome, but it adds to the negative arguments. So given the fact that there are alternative options already available, I still don't think it's worth it.
