Let us start with iColorFolder (iCF) which is small and easy-to-use. It requires Windows XP as it is not Vista compatible yet. But as far as its usability with WinXP is concerned it is quite satisfactory. Download iColorFolder 1.4.2 (size~1.4MB)
And with the installation of the Additional Skin Pack you can add several stylish skins to your folders besides just adding color.
Download Additional Skin Pack v1.2.1 (size~7MB)
Usage:
1) After Installing both iColorFolder and Additional Skin Pack, select the skin from the skin selector window.
2) Open any drive with folders and highlight the folder you want to color.
3) RIGHTCLICK your mouse and you will see COLOR LABEL option in your menu. Just choose your color from the list of color or press custom to select an icon from the list. To reset and get back to the original icon select none.
