Color Marker

Mark folders and notes with color labels, straight from the right-click menu — so the important ones jump out at you in the file explorer.

Features

• Right-click any folder or note → Color marker → pick one of 12 calendar-style colors (Tomato, Cherry, Flamingo, Tangerine, Banana, Sage, Basil, Peacock, Blueberry, Lavender, Grape, Graphite).
• The item's name is tinted and gets a colored dot, Google Calendar-label style.
• Remove color anytime from the same menu.
• Colors persist across restarts, and follow the item when it is renamed or moved (including everything inside a renamed folder).
• Works on desktop and mobile (mobile uses a swatch picker dialog).

Usage

1. In the file explorer, right-click a folder or a note.
2. Hover Color marker and choose a color.
3. To clear it, right-click again → Color marker → Remove color.

Installation

Manual installation

1. Create the plugin folder in your vault: <your-vault>/.obsidian/plugins/color-marker/
2. Copy main.js, manifest.json and styles.css into that folder.
3. In Obsidian, go to Settings → Community plugins and enable Color Marker.

Notes

• Colors are stored in the plugin's own data.json, keyed by vault path — your notes' content is never touched.
