Also, the Match Color filter needs to deliver a stronger effect than it does now (we could then adjust as needed with the opacity slider). Presently, I cannot increase its effect (and I would need it is some cases). BTW, it would be great to select the range of colors/tonality we want to match to.

It’s interesting but disappointing to have this arrive as a new tool. It should have just been an improved interface within the masking tool > Color Range, with a generated mask. Similarly, it should be within Effects > Color Enhancer, Color Adjustment, and Replace Color.

The available adjustment sliders for Hue, Saturation and Lightness still limit the changes you can make within a narrow/adjacent Hue range. Yellow-Green, Orange-Red, Blues-Purples. I can’t, for example, edit the color to become something in a different band: shift leaves from green-yellow to orange-red as we transition deeper into autumn.

How does the lightness slider in this new Edit Color tool differ than brightness used in other tools? Is it just an inconsistent word choice? Like keep/paint versus drop/erase in masking?

The Replace Color filter already has select a target color (actually functions as a source color), and then sliders for Hue, Sat, Brightness pertaining to the replacement color (Color Change, which should be termed: target in my opinion). The interface is a bit awkward though for the color you want to change over to. The interface there with a grid, and a rainbow and sliders is a much older convention. The newer circle and pie slice would be better.

Also, if you want to match a color of one object to another, such as garments of one person to match another, today it’s still clumsy. We need an eyedropper to select the color of what you’re trying to have as the result, and apply that to the source object. Local > Paint with Color doesn’t accomplish this easily. The new Match Color filter is completely different than this focused purpose.
