Well, as I see in Adobe products when Labels have been implemented in
DK, only one color can be assigned to an image, and i think it's
enough, else representation in GUI will become a rainbow.

In digiKam 8.0.0, there is a profile for the metadata sharing with
other photo management applications. The settings can be exported and
imported in digiKam through the metadata advanced setup panel.
DarkTable is supported as a profile. Look online documentation here :

 https://docs.digikam.org/fr/setup_application/metadata_settings.html#advanced-settings

Other profiles can be created if you use another application (such as
Photostation, Acdsee, LR, etc..). Just set up the advanced metadata
for your needs, and export the settings to a profile file. We can add
this file (INI text based) to digiKam as well. Just share the file in
a bug report...
