How to Change Folder Color in OneDrive on Windows 11
You can change folder colors in OneDrive on Windows 11 to visually distinguish them and improve organization.
Right-click the folder you want to color, select “Change color,” and pick a new hue from the palette. This action applies the color visually within File Explorer on your Windows 11 PC. For business accounts, this color change syncs across devices.
Folder coloring allows you to assign specific hues to different projects or priorities, making your OneDrive files easier to locate at a glance.

For personal OneDrive accounts, these color changes are applied locally to your Windows 11 PC. Business or school accounts will sync these custom folder colors across all your connected devices.
