Folder Color Icon Set

You open a directory with dozens of folders and spend half a minute hunting for the one you need. Every folder looks the same yellow, so your eyes have nothing to grab. Folder Color Icon Set fixes that with a set of color-coded folder icons, running from red to black.

It suits you if you keep many folders in one place and want a quick visual cue, and you don't want to pay for or install anything extra. It also suits you if you want to try color-coding before deciding on a dedicated tool.
