I made a trial for new folders just a couple of days ago, trying to
maintain the same look of the old folders but giving a freshier look,
see the attachment.
About the color, I wouldn't change it too much, because I think it is a
peculiarity of each theme and a different color would feel like a
betrayal to me :)
Plus, the current color goes well with every other color you could use
as theme dominant on your desktop.
