Syntax highlighting question

In assembly language, labels are defined by a string and a closing
colone. For example:

label1:

The syntax file requires a start and a stop pattern. But the start
pattern can't be an asteric `*' nor a selection of allowed characters
`\[abc...\]'.

I tried:

keyword whole *:                   /* not allowed        */
keyword whole \[abcde....\]:       /* not allowed        */
keyword whole \n\[abcde....\]:     /* doesn't work       */
keyword whole \n*:                 /* same               */

context ; \n brown/22              /* works for comments */

context \n : brown/22              /* doesn't work       */
context    : brown/22              /* not allowed        */
context *  : brown/22              /* not allowed        */
context \[abcde....\] : brown/22   /* not allowed        */
context \n\[abcde....\] : brown/22 /* not allowed        */


However, is there a way to get it working?
