I must be doing something wrong. I fully expected plenty of threads on this, but can't find any. Is there some way to change the color of all the folders in KDE Plasma from that blue color? I'm using the Breeze Dark theme and icons. I’ve tried alternative icon packs, but the closest I found changed the Application Launcher icon to an Apple icon. I'm fine with the rest of the theme. I just want to change all the folders to be plain old manila colored.

Hi!

How did you search? "kde plasma change default folder color" finds a lot of stuff, including the actual solution:
Systemsettings → Applications → File Associations → inode/directory ⇨ change General Icon

I'd seen that answer, but couldn't find a way to change the icon. It never occurred to me to click on the actual blue icon sitting right at the top. Oops.

?? There's tons of iconpacks out there. Get one from, say, the kde store, and put them in ./local/share/icons. There are selection adaptive ones like chameleon, rainbow..that change the folder color to the selection color. Nowadays plasma does that as well (although not nearly as good as chameleon imo). Then there are scripts that allow you to create all kinds of color scheme icon sets. Then there are services that allow you to change individual folder colors. The folders in the screenshot is done with a script I made which uses the breeze rounded iconset. https://imgur.com/a/mxuTN3s
