It's a old problem I have, just trying, if I can make it work, It never did. The color class label in PM 6.0, build 7285 but also 2026.6, build 9175 do not show of
in ACR 18.70.2743. I think I tried everything. Star rating is working, the XMP Files show the right color label, but it does not in ACR. I use photoshop in the german version.
Could that be a problem?

Hi, if you are using a German-language version of ACR, you need to rename the PM colours to German (e.g., Red to Rot).

I tried that, it did not work.

Hi, to be honest, it's been a long time since I've used Adobe Bridge or ACR, as I always use Lightroom for my post-processing.

I've played around with adding colour labels in Bridge and ACR, and I still think your issue is an inconsistency in how PM and Adobe name the colours.

Do you have the names of the colour matching between PM and ACR?

You set ACR colours in Bridge settings.

Also, PM has the option to set colours to the Bridge setting, but not sure how that will work if you're using a German version of PS

Thank you Alex, I don't use Adobe Brigde. Interesting, if you have to set the colors there. I will try.

I tried to match the settings in preferences in Adobe Bridge. Now it works. Strange, but that's the solution.
Even, when you do not use Bridge, you have to set the color names to match the PM names.
Thank you Alex.

When you update a color label, a string of text is written to a specific place in the metadata of the image. Software looks at this string of text to determine which color to show you. If one piece of software writes "Favorite" but you haven't told the other piece of software what "Favorite" means, its not going to show you anything. This is why your color label names need to match.
