The channel button popup menu
This option from the channel/RGB channel button popup menu can be used to change the name of the channel or RGB channel. The name will be displayed in various places, including on the channel or RGB channel's button.
This option from the channel button popup menu can be used to change the color assigned to the channel (it is unavailable for RGB channels). Note that this has no effect on your actual lights, and that it is not necessary to set the color of the channel to match the color of the actual lights hooked up to the channel. However, doing so may be convenient. For example, the Sequence Editor will use the assigned color to display lighting effects in the sequence's grid.
