Dance floor is missing disco ball. Scarce refreshments.
Indoor outhouse is actually outdoors.

Plants are green. Rocks are gray. Animals bleed red. Gems come in pretty colors like purple and pink.

It's not that I'm calling people out, I think it just boils down to personal preference. I personally like mine all the same colour

My problem with this is the name would only show up when you've already opened the chest. And at that point, you already know what belongs in the chest, because you can look at the items themselves.
Having it hover above the chest would be kind of cool (like a smaller version of the "you caught a fish" pop-up), but then everyone with a vertical set of chests (which if you're on Console then I highly doubt) would groan.
And at that point, you could use chests as text signs, although you'd have to cover them with something if you didn't want to see the chest.
Personally, I don't think I'd find this feature particularly useful and/or necessary, especially given that time pauses when you open chests (in Singleplayer) so opening the wrong chest doesn't really set you back, given that your chests are close to each other.
I think more players would be excited if you could lock signs or other furniture, so that you can use them for organisation without having to be super careful around them.

Lol and you know what, I only ever learned to do that in MTaP by the very end of the game. I'm just too well programmed by Minecraft and Stardew Valley.

I really like that feature. I also like that you can put all similar items into all the chests with one button press, rather than having to go to each individual chest.

I didn't even know you could do that. My MTaP chest organization was actually a sight to behold. Just about the biggest brain I've ever been in a game because I had to.
Or in this case, true to form, didn't have to... lol!

Some mods allow naming chests and other objects, and each of them does it in their own way. If the game had an universal "name" tag for objects, and a way to name things that would allow more standardized treament of object names.
For example, there couuld be a new "Name Tag" item crafted with fiber and wood. When used on an object, pet or your horse, it would name it.
* Use it on a chest to give it a name. The name would show when hovering the mouse over it or using it with the tool button and an empty hand.
* Use it on an item signpost to add a text, which would show just like Text Sign.
* Use it on a horse or pet to rename them.
* Use it on a farmhouse, shed, barn, coop, or cabin door to show a short text in the world map when hoevering the mouse over its area.
