Personally, I had a period wishing I could name those Pick color labels. 
Looking through older albums their use/meaning is different from one 
period to the next, depending on zeitgeist of the moment.
But progressively I got more comfortable using structured tags and star 
ratings, and now use a combination of those for selections across 
albums, while using color labels to distinguish images inside particular 
albums.
But to each their own, right?

Best regards,
