color legends should somehow reflect visibility
When certain metadata categories are not visible it would be useful for that to somehow be reflected in the color legend (e.g, by greying those out).
This is a tricky issue, the problem here is that one menu is independent of the other, so when you hide/show samples of one category under a metadata header it is possible that the coloring in the other is by a different metadata header hence there won't be a match between these.

Right, and it is important that visibility and color can be controlled orthogonally for interactive analysis.

@wasade commented that he expected the Key tab to account for visibility, which I think is a GREAT suggestion, as you can have truly orthogonal tabs.
