I have the following function to colourise the label, but I get OFF printed twice.
(defun label-select (label)
"Color the part of LABEL after [-]."
(if (string-match "\\[\\-\\] \\(.*\\)" label)
(let ( (bt (match-string 0 label))
(lb (match-string 1 label)) )
(concat bt (propertize lb 'face '(:foreground "red"))))
label))
(insert (format " %s \n" (label-select "[-] OFF ")))
(insert (format " %s \n" (label-select "[-] OFF ")))
(insert (format " %s \n" (label-select " [-] OFF ")))

`bt' is the entire string passed by LABEL, but IIUC it should just be
the string "[-] ", so put that in a group:
(defun label-select (label)
"Color the part of LABEL after [-]."
(if (string-match "\\(\\[\\-\\] \\)\\(.*\\)" label)
(let ( (bt (match-string 1 label))
(lb (match-string 2 label)) )
(concat bt (propertize lb 'face '(:foreground "red"))))
label))

Regarding grouping, I want to replicate the original string with respect
to any whitespaces. Does the grouping outline respect the original whitespace ?

The regexp I used is fairly specific to the examples you gave (though I
overlooked that your third example has a space before "[-]"); to allow
arbitrary whitespace in the first group before and after "[-]" you can
use "\\s-*":
(defun label-select (label)
"Color the part of LABEL after [-]."
(if (string-match "\\(\\s-*\\[\\-\\]\\s-*\\)\\(.*\\)" label)
(let ( (bt (match-string 1 label))
(lb (match-string 2 label)) )
(concat bt (propertize lb 'face '(:foreground "red"))))
label))
