Layer Label Color

I would love the ability to set a background color in the layer list. I’d like to be able to set this on an individual layer or group of layers.

I often have trouble finding important groups of layers. I’ve resorted to using emojis which helps. But imagine that we could color the background color of the label.

I’d also like to edit the label name so that in my document “Blue” would represent to my developers that it’s grids.

I was just exactly thinking same. I got used to colour code some groups in photoshop, so just a nested view in figma looks a bit confusing and hard to navigate!

I really dont get it why this is still not a feature. Does even Figma consider these ideas in forums?

Not sure… I’ve read A LOT of great feature suggestions and threads with lots of votes but most of the time you don’t even see an official reaction from Figma’s side.

It would be cool to separate frames and categorize them by color so frames could be easily spotted when we need to export.

Would love to be able to color code each layer on the side panel to help break things apart as well as apply some logic to how things are organized.

Hope this gonna happen. I’m new on Figma, and I came from XD. Everything is better in Figma … except layers window 😦
