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

[aCiD]

I have to agree, I don't favour the blue folders. I am much more of a
fan of yellow/tan folders. They feel more natural and "friendly" to
me, blue (or at least, the one at the moment) feels slightly cold.

I would experiment with recolouring them, but I'm on Windows at the
moment and have no graphics software setup.
