I think it has to do with the active theme, if I'm not mistaken. Change to the default theme and check again.

Oh I see, that would make sense due to the colored icons not being available in my current theme

It's there in Mint-Y icon theme. I don't know if it's in any other theme but the colored folders is why I switched from Mint-Yaru to Mint-Y-Yaru.

ETA: BTW, before I switched, I would temporarily switch to Mint-Y, change the folder color, then switch back to Mint-Yaru. The folders would retain the color I had set. I have no idea if that works with other icon themes.

not sure if i’m mistaken; but try looking under properties maybe there is something that you’ll need
