+# Using labels
+One major difference,advantage or a flaw (depending on your personal preference) of gitlab is its label system.
+
+Violet labels are for priority. There are four priority labels: critical, high, medium and low.
+
+Orange labels are for components.
+
+Green labels designate type and state of the issue (feature request, QA needed, etc)
+
+Yellow labels designate specific libraries.
+
+Red labels are for things that should stand out. Currently there's one label: bug.
+
+This is just a proposal. Tomek's idea was to use dark colors for important things and light colors for less important aspects. If you don't like it, we can come up with an alternative naming/coloring scheme.
