Well, I suspect that Cliff is actually talking about Label colors, not folder 
colors: control-click (or right-click if your mouse supports it) on the folder 
and select a color from the Label menu item.

To color the actual folder, you need to have folder icons of different colors 
handy, such as those here:

<http://www.myappleguide.com/blogs/iphone-world/2224/colored-folder-icons-leopard>
 and change the icon by doing a Get Info on the icon file, selecting the icon, 
copying it, doing a Get Info on the target folder, selecting the icon and 
pasting it; same way it's worked since OS 7 or so...
