            Bug ID: 431437
           Summary: [Feature] Make Breeze compatible with Folder Color
           Product: Breeze
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux

  Target Milestone: ---

CONTEXT
-------
Folder Color is a way to change quickly change the colour of folders:
http://foldercolor.tuxfamily.org/

There is an extension also for Dolphin:
https://github.com/jsmitar/dolphin-folder-color

A few themes have support for such large folder colours, including all
"special" folders that colourised, see e.g. Papirus:
https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme

FEATURE INTEREST
----------------
Having access to such large panel of colours, including all the "special"
(image, document, etc.) is extremely nice to set up a more mnesic-friendly
hierarchy were typical folders (and folder structures) can be easily
muscle-memorised using a combination of special icon and colour to easily spot
each folder. It vastly increases the possibilities for the user to set up such
easy-to-spot folders, while current Breeze is only limited to EITHER special
folders OR colours.

IMPLEMENTATION
--------------
I am in no way expert in how Breeze works, but as far as I understand, I
believe this feature could be relatively easy to implement. Breeze can be made
able to dynamically apply colours to folders:
https://store.kde.org/p/1160457/

As, for example, Papirus does with a script to generate the folder icons it
ships to be compatible with Color Folder:
https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-folders#script-usage

CAVEATS
-------
To be sure, I am not proposing Breeze to follow Color Folder, nor Dolphin to
implement "dolphin-folder-color" by default (though both would be nice, of
course). My main point here is more humbly to extend the folder colours to
match e.g. Papirus extant in variety.
