With the changing versions of windows, we have seen changing themes and styles but one thing remains pretty much the same. The color of your folder icons. You get the same boring yellow color in all versions of windows, whether it be Windows 95 or the latest Windows 8.
Searching for a specific folder when you know you need to access it again and again can be a pain.
Luckily, there is a free tool that allows you to change your folder colors as per your desires. Here is a look about what the software can do for you...
Changing the color of the folder icon could help you spot and differentiate folders easily, rather than just depend on the folder name.

Step 2.> CHANGING COLORS
To start differentiating your folder, select any folder icon you want to change the color of, right click on it, select ‘Colorize!’ and then pick any preset color.
Step 3.>CHANGED COLORS
Once you have selected a color for your folder, your folder icon color will change automatically from the standard yellow to the color you picked.
Step 4.> CHANGE COLOR

Step 5.> CREATE CUSTOM COLOR
From the window, pick any color you want to use, then click on ‘Add Color’. This custom color will be saved as a preset color, so the next time you want to use it, you can select it straight from the list.
Step 6.> RESTORE ORIGINAL COLOR
Should you decide to restore the original color of your folder icon, right click on the folder, select ‘Colorize!’ and pick ‘Restore original color’. The changes will be made immediately, and you will see that the color of your folder icon has returned to the original yellow.
