Thanks Elliot. Further bit of testing, from this code block:

<?php // Color scheme
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Grab the color scheme for pages. Sub pages inherit the parent's color scheme.
// http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-advanced-custom-fields-field-from-parent-page-into-child-page

global $post;
// Get parent ID
$parent_id = $post->post_parent;
// Parent color
$color_scheme_parent = get_field('color', $parent_id);
?>

<?php
/*
*  Displaying a single value's Label
*/
$field = get_field_object('color_scheme_color');
$value = get_field('color');
$label = $field['choices'][ $value ];
?>

Color field: <?php echo $field; ?> <br>
Color value: <?php echo $value; ?> <br>
Color label: <?php echo $label; ?> <br>
Parent color: <?php echo $color_scheme_parent; ?>

I get this output on the page (page.php):

Color field: Array
Color value: #464972
Color label:
Parent color: #464972

Do you have any other de-bugging suggestions or tests I could perform to see why I can’t output the label?

Many thanks!
