Folder Color
Health & Repair
Scans every marked folder, finds the ones a Windows update silently reverted, and fixes them in one click. Nothing else on Windows detects this.
16 built-in colors
Or any hex you want, applied in one click — not a static icon pack you buy once and outgrow.
for windows 10 & 11
Every folder on your drive looks identical.
Folder Color fixes that — real colors, unlimited hex, and a repair engine for the Windows updates that keep silently killing your custom icons.

Self-repairing
Detects the folder icons a Windows update silently reverted, and fixes them in one click.
You can't tell your folders apart.
Any color, applied in one click.
Never open the wrong one again.
the honest problem
Yellow folder. Yellow folder.
Yellow folder. Yellow folder.
Scores of folders. Hundreds, maybe thousands. All the exact same manila-yellow rectangle, whether it holds your taxes or your vacation photos. You open three before you find the right one — every time.
- A Windows update quietly reverts your custom icons and shows no error — you just wake up to yellow again.
- Cloud sync eats your colors. The icon that took you thirty seconds to set doesn't survive Dropbox or OneDrive.
- A reinstall wipes everything. Every mark you ever set, gone, with nothing to restore from.
try it right here
Pick a color. Click a folder.
This is what every folder on your drive looks like right now. Go on.
what actually ships
Built for the way Windows actually breaks things.
Backup & Restore
Export every color to one portable file. Reinstall Windows, restore in a click.
Cloud-safe by design
The icon is embedded inside the folder itself, so it travels with it through Dropbox, OneDrive, anywhere.
Unlimited everything
Any hex color, recursive apply to every subfolder, status glyphs for priority and progress — no artificial caps on colors or folders.
⚡ Nobody else on Windows does this
See what's inside.
Without opening it.
Hold your cursor over any folder in Explorer and a HUD lists everything inside — no double-click, no lost train of thought.
