Usage

Calling getLabels() returns an array of label objects, which are the following:

{ 
  // The hex color value (without the "#")
  value: string
  // The name of the label color
  name: string,
};

e.g. for the default labels it returns:

[
  { value: "B53838", name: "Red" },
  { value: "E4D84C", name: "Yellow" },
  { value: "A9CBC7", name: "Aqua" },
  { value: "E5BCC9", name: "Pink" },
  { value: "A9A9CA", name: "Lavender" },
  { value: "E7C19E", name: "Peach" },
  { value: "B3C7B3", name: "Sea Foam" },
  { value: "677DE0", name: "Blue" },
  { value: "4AA44C", name: "Green" },
  { value: "8E2C9A", name: "Purple" },
  { value: "E8920D", name: "Orange" },
  { value: "7F452A", name: "Brown" },
