I know it was available in KDE 4 and 5 and haven’t seen it updated for 6 which I understand. It has come in handy to organize some of the more important folders for myself and family like this:

Example of the color folders I use

My question is, is there a different way of assigning folder colors without the plugin? I imagine a custom icon, but I admit, right clicking and choosing the tint made it dead simple! :)

    Not sure if this is what you’re asking for but as with Dolphin 25.04.0 I can right-click a folder, select “Properties” (not sure if that’s the actual name in english; or just hit Alt+Enter), click/tap the folder icon within the modal and search for a color in the search box - lots of tinted folders (but not so much colors, though) shipped with the default Breeze icon theme

      I know about that function. It’s mostly just about if there were any other options. I mean, I can find a folder icon pack probably, but that would make the ones I wanted customized but and also not match. For example, if I did a green folder and it was not flat like the Breeze ones are then it would look out of place until I replaced everyone with the one from the pack.

        I think Breeze already includes folder icons of all colours, you just have to find them with that icon picker.

        I don’t think there are any other options - as I understand that would require coloring an icon on the fly, wether a default icon or a custom icon
