How To: Assign A Colored Label To A Folder Or File
Assigning a colour to a folder or file is a great way to organise your files or folders in levels of importance.
In order to achieve this all a user needs to do is select the file or folder they wish to add a label to and go to either File > Get Info in the menu bar or press Command + I on your keyboard.

Simply select the colour you wish for that folder or file and it will then be highlighted in that colour in your finder window.
