    Use Papirus icons. Then you can use papirus folders. Papirus-folders is a bash script that allows changing the color of folders in Papirus icon theme and its forks. There are other icon themes which allow folder colour switches. Also there is no need for an extension, says the vanilla Gnome user 😉

    If you are unsure what to name the files, just check out /usr/share/icons/Adwaita and see what names it uses for the icons you wanna change. Or, if you wanna change more things - like application icons, etc - you can download a more robust icon theme like Papirus just to check the names it uses for what you wanna change.
