Users can change colors and label names, and I know of no way to sort colors or names to match what's in the Finder preferences. Maybe the permutation of the indices is fixed, but I'd be more comfortable if the permutation were documented.
Users cannot change the Finder label colors, only the label names.
Though, I was wrong; My code actually is relying on pre-10.6 path FSSetCatalogInfo to set the file label. Oops. :)
But as you say, in practice it'll work. The order doesn't make any sense to me either, but the label names and colors don't change their index in 10.7 or 10.6 so you can rely on it. I doubt they've changed for 10.8 either.
