Customize (color code) folder/doc set icon in grid view of library
One of our departments has a document library with a document set for each course in their program. They'd like to color-code them by the type of course (seminar, studio or elective) in the tile view...
As I think about this I thought I would offer an alternative idea for you. If you could color code the folders you would still need some sort of key to help users know what each color means. With that said would be easier to just create a "choice" column and use that to group the folders by different metadata instead? The Extended Folder content type can be used to accomplish this. Perhaps even use a classic view to group all the folders by the metadata defined. The end result would be grouped folders that are related in some meaningful way.
