Adam, Thanks a lot! definitely no waste of time! Although I must say I
like the Finder/Journler/attached-file-in-BD approach better (a few
predefined labels, accessible via the contextual menu, visible even
when selected, more OS-X-y appearance in general) I'd rather have it
this way than not at all.

I implemented it using the color picker, since that's what's used in Mail. You can also predefine colors in the color picker, although I recognize that's not what you want.

One additional note: Finder labels are predefined because the file system only has (IIRC) 4 bits of storage available for them in FinderInfo. They're a holdover from classic Mac OS, and Apple converted them to gradients in order to look less dated. I'd also guess that with modern storage limits, Apple might have used a standard color UI in Finder, as well (which might also have accessibility benefits; I'm not sure).
