How to change color of desktop folders from light blue to another color?

My computer was just upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. In the change, the desktop icons I used to have turned into light blue folders, which look terrible on my light green desktop color, not enough contrast.
Please tell me how to change the light blue color of these desktop folders to some other color? thanks

IMac Intel, new in May 2006, Mac OS X (10.4.7), Leopard

Ivan; your comment doesn't make sense


1) Get Info on the icon (like a folder)...What does "Like a Folder" Mean?

2) Click on the icon to select it. What Icon, the Folder you mentioned in step one?

3) Edit (menu) > Copy....There is no EDIT

4) Open Preview...................I stopped as I couldn't go any further.

5) File > New From Clipboard

6) Tools > Adjust Color > Tint (and whatever else you want. Do this for all sizes)

7) Edit > Select All

8) Edit > Copy

9) Go back to the original Folder Get Info Window

10) Select the icon and Paste.
