Mixer

I use the mixer most often when I want to mute or solo an instrument or section. I colour code the mixer 'sections' to make it easier to see 'where I am'. I don't want to open up the entire mixer (very often).
1. Is there a way of saving the colour scheme so that I do not need to recreate it with each new score?
2. It would be fantastic if the name of the channel strip was also at or near the top as well as/instead of, the bottom of the strip.
.....as per my badly mocked up attachment

cheers
