[Tango-artists] Folder icon should have more suitable colour (yellow)

[Bodo Tasche]

I like the blue ;). And blue Folders are used on many Systems. E.g. KDE
and MacOS. So if you want to have a consistent User experience you have
to compromise. You take some stuff from Gnome, some from KDE, some from
other parts. That's the way it goes.

And myself, as a Mac-Developer, wouldn't use yellow Foldes in my
Software because it would not fit ;).
