I'd like to suggest a feature that displays the name of the active color filter, if applicable, based on the "Define color by filetype" settings.
When users have numerous color settings and the available readable colors are limited, the used colors may appear quite similar, making it challenging to differentiate between them.
Having the active color displayed, for example, in a tooltip or wherever is suitable, would be quite helping.

Re: Display active color filter
Under "Configuration" -> "Options..." -> "Display" -> "Help texts" -> "User-defined" [+] button you can set tooltips for the same file types as you set colors for.
In wincmd.ini it could look like:
[colors]
ColorFilter1=*.jpg
ColorFilter1Color=16711680
[HintsCustomField]
1exts=*.jpg
1fields=jpg file - blue
But I admit it can be cumbersome to keep [colors] and [HintsCustomField] in sync - so maybe a new ColorFilterNHint parameter could be nice.

Re: Display active color filter
Clever workaround! Thx.
Agree, quite cumbersome for maintaining.
Dedicated field would be much better solution.
