Hi everyone,
I have customised the colours of my folders as a way to be better organised.
However, when I create an Alias for these folders, the icon appears in the regular blue colour.
This problem appeared since the update to Big Sur, everything was working fine on Catalina.
I know this is not a really serious issue, but it has been bothering me for a while, so at some point, I'd like to find a solution.
Thank you,
Lise
Excellent, this is such an easy solution, I hadn't thought about it!
Thank you very much!
The only difference now is that the icon doesn't have that little arrow at the bottom to indicate it's an alias.
It would be great to find a way to add this too?
Otherwise, this is already a great way to solve this issue.
Thanks again!

Hi Ronsara,
I used a method that is very commonly referred to online:
https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/change-folder-colors-mac/
https://www.lifewire.com/change-folder-color-on-mac-5069823
Basically, changing the colour of the icon through Preview.

Just copy the icon from the Get Info pane of the folder to the Get Info pane of the alias file.
It would be helpful if you could tell us what method you are using to change the color of your folders.
How to make to keep the colour of the folder when creating an Alias?
