Folder Colors is a lightweight Windows shell extension that lets you change folder colors directly from the right click menu inside File Explorer. Instead of using identical yellow folders, you can visually organize projects, clients, documents, downloads, and workflows with instant color coding.
The software integrates natively into Windows, which means no heavy interface, no background services, and minimal resource usage. Simply right click any folder to change its color, create a new colored folder from the desktop or empty space, or collect multiple files into a newly created folder automatically.
Folder Colors improves desktop organization, reduces search time, and increases productivity by turning standard folders into a structured visual system. It is fully compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11 and designed for professionals, freelancers, students, and teams who want faster file management without complexity.
