I don't think you'll find a one step process for indenting and
applying color(s). If it's only one color, then it's just paint in an
indent, no?

What's your thinking on using color? It adds a lot of complexity and
unless the 'label' was pretty big the odds of it coming out messy and/
or not worth the effort are pretty high.

I believe Stickley changed from branded furniture to metal tags
attached with brads. If you're looking for permanence, attach the
brass tag with brass screws and strip the heads. It'll give it that
professional look.
