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.

This feature would help sooooo much when working on big projects… is it so hard to implement or did it not reach figma devs yet maybe?

Yes, please follow the solution already used by Adobe (PS, AE) - user should have the ability to mark layers or groups with colours.  This would immensely improve userability. Please

Yeah, people need to mark their layers with colours. Dear developers, please hear us!

At least with the dark theme, this so-called professional tool is somewhat usable.

We’re really going to get GTA VI before we get some simple Layer colors in Figma, aren’t we?
