Summary

This patch makes labels of sockets without field, connected or outputs, drawn with the socket color.

Based on the design of Pablo Vazquez (pablovazquez) https://ui.pablovazquez.art/

NOTE: Pablos mockup doesn't solve for labels that are within or above input fields.

I dont really like the colored labels, so distracting and non estetic, the original format was better imo.

I agree this is too distracting, and in big node groups, this will make text hard to read if every line of text is a different color.

i agree with that

To me this is just way too much visual distraction. And I'm not sure it brings much benefit. It may look good in minimal examples, but for complex node trees it just makes it a node christmas tree. There's also the question about dark colored node sockets and ones using transparency. You'd barely see the text.
I'll leave the decision up to @Pablo Vazquez (pablovazquez) who created the design mockups, but I suggest against it.

Actually I don't see how we can make this one work myself at the moment.

Maybe instead of making the hole text as the dot color only the stroke around it? how it will look like
