Paper folder icons for Windows 11 and 10
Twelve Paper folders, like a manila folder seen from the front: a pale printed sheet in front of a deeper back, in quiet pairs such as manila and taupe, rose and burgundy, sky and navy, sage and forest.
What's in the Paper set
The set has 12 folders: Manila, Rose, Navy, Sage, Gray, Honey, Lavender, Peach, Mint, Kraft, Cream and Lemon.
Ideas for using them
Paper folders use two colors on purpose: the sheet in front and the plate behind it. Keep one back color for a whole project and change the sheet for each part, or the other way round, and related folders line up by color.
Choose the print on the Shape tab under Pattern: small dots, stripes, gingham, tartan, glen check or plain. A symbol on the sheet takes the color of the back, so a navy back gives a navy symbol. Set both colors on the Colors tab, under Folder and Tab.

Questions
Are the Paper folders free?
They are part of FolderHue Pro, $4.99 once with no subscription. In the free version you can still open all 12 of them and see them on your folder before you decide.
Can I change a Paper folder after picking it?
Yes. A ready-made folder is a starting point: change its color, symbol or shape in the other tabs, then choose Save as template to keep your version. Templates also appear in the right-click menu.
