I'd like to filter so that I only see cards that are not labelled. I can see how to filter for any combination of labels except "only show me those that have no label". I think this would be very useful, but can't figure out how to do it.

You can give the coloured labels meaningful names, which I've found really helps.
It's not entirely obvious how to do this, at first:
- When viewing a board, click on the grey Icon just to the left of the board's name
- Select "Preferences"
- You'll see the labels with names like "Green (default)"
- Click on the name of a label, a type in something meaningful, and save it.
Now, when you click on a card, and then "Labels...", the name you specified is displayed on top of the Colour swatch.
This at least saves people from having to remember the meaning you've ascribed to the different colours.
You still only get 6 colours to play with, though, and I don't believe that you can change the colours themselves.
Other nice tricks
- If you are hovering over a card, and hit the letter L on the keyboard, it pops up the list Labels, which is rather convenient.
- The "Filter Cards..." option at top-right allows you to use these labels for filtering.

I've just noticed that there's now a shorter route to renaming labels: At the bottom of the list of labels, there is now a link to "Edit labels (sic) titles":
It seems that you don't have the permission to change them.
Try to take a look at the ownership of the board, you should be a co-owner or the creator to be able to have them changed.

You can find cards without labels buy using the
-operator. For example, if you have a label called red and a label called blue and you want to see all cards without a label, try this:The result will be any card that does not have the red or blue label. Of course you will have to list all of your labels for this to work.
