Personally, I'd use the colour-label.

As for whether it exists? What do you mean? It exists as much as any human-defined property exists.
Exacty.


Do tables exist?

Of course they do! Look there's a table right here....

...but thats not a table! Its just a few pieces of wood stuck together. And in fact those pieces of wood are nothing more than huge bunches of atoms!

Therefore tables don't exist.
