Hi all, I have an XYZ point feature class representing bathymetry.

I have applied a label expression to label the points in the same fashion as soundings on a nautical chart.

For example, the label above represent a depth of 3.8 metres.

What I want to do is color the labels so they graduate throughout the depth range as you might see on a coloured fair sheet.

For instance, a shallow sounding might be a red colour, whilst a deep sounding might be a blue colour.

How can I link a color ramp to my labels?

You can set up label classes based on depth ranges. Each label class will have a definition query to only show depths of a specific range (DEPTH between 0 and 20 in one label class, >20  to 30 in another, for example). Then, for each label class, you can choose your own font, font color, etc.

I can provide greater detail if needed.
