You should change the array used for coloration. You need to have an array containing this info, and probably you should use Interpret Values as Categories in the color map editor.

Ah ok.

The nearest feature we have is the Selection Label I think.

In the Find Data panel, after creating a selection, you can configure labels and edit their visual properties. Note that by default, not all elements are labelized: you should change the max in the settings.
