+..  deprecated:: 13.1
+    This setting has been deprecated and will be removed in TYPO3 v14 due to its
+    lack of accessibility. It is being replaced with a
+    :ref:`new label system <useroptions-pageTree-label>` for tree nodes.
+
+    In TYPO3 v13 the setting will be migrated to the new label system. Since the
+    use case is unknown, the generated label will be "Color: <value>". This
+    information will be displayed on all affected nodes.
