I want to be able to change the folder colors of some of my desktop folders. I've seen instructions online and watched a YouTube video or two, but the instructions don't work for me. Why doesn't Apple just have a simple way to do this? So frustrating. Hoping someone can help. Thanks! I'm on a 202 iMac Retina 5K 27-inch.

macOS has moved on to Tags...

If you do not see the selection, spin the carrot

an example, select Desktop

you can submit your Apple Feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple

you could find different coloured folders in the form of icons and then change them that way.

please see Change icons for files or folders on Mac.
