Adding it to the title would be fine. I would be willing to help. It's useful
for people who want to use stickers sheets for MOC's. But I also understand
the amount of effort involved.

  I am so looking forward to the sticker sheet restructuring. Can we also require
colors for them. White, clear, mirrored silver, mirrored gold.

Honestly, I don't see the point in changing the actual colors. Sticker sheets
always appear at or close to the top of an inventory when classified as N/A
and we have no arguments between people about defining colors of individual sheets.

I did go in a few years ago and submit a bunch of change requests to add the
search term "Mirrored" to all mirrored sticker sheets. I think we could do that
for any sticker sheet which had an overall pattern (reflective, mirrored, holographic,
etc.). Many of them are already that way.

So instead of classifying by color, would you settle for the color being defined
in the title? I have no problem with the idea of renaming sticker sheets to
reflect the color or surface type in theory, but I wonder if it would be worth
all the effort. How important do you consider it? What would be some benefits?
Are you willing to help by submitting catalog change requests?

BTW, the project of renaming every sticker sheet would never truly be completed
because many older sticker sheets are difficult or impossible to obtain.
