Problem you are trying to solve

I have multiple accounts set up with different colours assigned to each.
These colours show in account overview screens but not in folder screens.

Suggested solution

When in a folder screen for an account, (e.g. Inbox or Sent) it would be nice if the banner at the top of the screen (that shows folder and account name) would also be coloured (for quick visual reference) to match the colour set for the account.

Research direction

Start by locating the folder-screen UI and how account colours are displayed on account overview screens. Trace the banner showing the folder and account name, then verify that it uses the selected account colour in Inbox and Sent folder screens.
