Unleash Your Creativity: How to Create Colorful Folders in SharePoint and OneDrive
Are you tired of the same old monotonous look of your SharePoint and OneDrive folders? Do you find yourself sifting through a sea of plain, identical folders, struggling to find what you need quickly?
Well, it’s time to add a splash of creativity to your digital workspace! In this post, I’m showing you how to bring a burst of color to your folders in SharePoint and OneDrive, making organization not just efficient, but visually appealing too.
How to create a colored folder
Gone are the days of dull yellow and white folders. With a few simple steps, you can infuse your SharePoint and OneDrive folders with vibrant colors that reflect your unique style and help you categorize your content effortlessly.
- Start by clicking in the New button to create a new folder
- Provide a name for the folder
- Select the color to apply to the folder, there are 16 different colors from where you can choose including the default yellow
- Click Create
Use your creativity or simply the color coding already defined in your organization to better understand what is inside each folder.

Hey Joao – I don’t see this as an option. Is this an early access feature or in an upcoming update?

Thank you for the response – I just noticed it yesterday!
I also caught your presentation last week (embedding Teams chat on SharePoint pages) – excellent job! Looking forward to playing around with the app.
