I tried to recreate the feature from the Finder under Mac OS using a service
menu and a script, but the Dolphin file manager does not allow coloring the
text background of files or folders by default. Unfortunately there is no
native API in Dolphin to colorize a file name based on (I tried) e.g. xattr.

Here are examples, as I had imagined:

I know that there is the possibility to colorize folder icons, but firstly this
does not work with files and secondly it does not work if the folder already
has a special icon.

Reproducible: tried to build something myself
