Reply to Finder tag colors and folder icons become gray for iCloud Drive items (URLResourceValues / xattr / QLThumbnailGenerator)
Thanks! Feedback report sent - ID: FB21946632 Tag names can be used, but they’re locale-dependent, so there’s no reliable way to convert them into a stable color key (please correct me if I’m wrong). This also doesn’t address the icon issue: iCloud Drive folders turn gray for any color tint, which defeats quick visual identification. This affects all 3rd-party apps and seems to originate in macOS 14 Sonoma (possibly earlier).
