Can folder colors be changed?

Here's one method:

How to change folder color on Mac using Preview

1. Right-click the folder you want to customize and choose Get Info.
2. In the Info window, click on the thumbnail of the folder icon and press Command + C to copy it.
3. Open Preview, go to File > New from Clipboard.
4. Adjust the color using the menu Tools > Adjust Color.

Or you can find some images with transparent backgrounds on the internet and paste them into the Info pane for the folder:

Can’t get how? What exactly happens? Old Toad’s instructions are correct and very detailed. Did you click the icon in the Info window to select it? Then Command-C to copy, switch to Preview and Command-N for “New from Clipboard”.

You're welcome. Glad you've got it sorted out.

Not directly, but you can assign custom icons to files and folders.

You can create or download custom icons, copy, then select one folder, Command-I, select the icon at the top, and Paste.
