How do you color code folders in Mavericks?

I used to be able to color code each folder in Finder.

I know I can use tags in Mavericks, but is there a way to restore the ability to actually color code folders?

Thanks.

2 solutions to color tag files:

• How to add, change and delete Tags in OS X 10.9 Mavericks
• Tag your files with drag and drop in OS X Mavericks

Unlike colours, tags one not mutually exclusive. You can set multiple tags for one file.

This may explain why Finder no longer displays the colour like before.

Sadly, it will only display a maximum of three colours on the right of the filename. It looks like these three colours are the last three in the list.

remember to tell Apple. We want labels back:

You might be interested in downloading Folder Magic. It lets you easily assign colours to folders (which makes them very easy to differentiate).
