Folder Colorizer

Folder Colorizer is a lightweight utility that lets you add a personal touch to your file system by changing folder colors with just one click. By replacing the default yellow folder icons with vibrant colors, it helps you organize and locate folders more quickly.

Whether you want to categorize work projects, personal files, or media collections, this tool makes it simple to create a visual system that works for you.

The application integrates directly into the file explorer context menu, so you can right click on any folder and instantly apply a new color. It now includes support for HEX color codes, offering access to over 16 million distinct shades for truly customized organization.

A “Restore original color” option is also available, allowing you to revert any folder to its default appearance instantly.

Easy-to-use interface and features

The color-changing feature is available from the moment you right click a folder. You can select from preset colors or create custom shades for a more personalized look.

Colors can be applied to single folders or multiple folders at once, and the changes remain even after the program is closed. This means you don’t need the application running in the background to maintain your customized folder colors.

Better organization through color coding

By assigning different colors to folders, you can quickly identify them without opening each one. This reduces the time spent searching through large lists of folders and helps you stay organized.

Many users align specific colors with certain categories, making it easy to spot priority projects, personal items, or frequently accessed data at a glance.

Workflow enhancements and limitations

Folder Colorizer is a great time-saver for anyone managing many folders. However, in certain system views, such as Quick Access, colored icons may not always display as expected.

Also, when resetting the color of many folders at once, the process may take a little longer to complete.
