Steps to reproduce:
Tastes differ, so I find the old folders icons (Thunderbird 68 and earlier) to be a lot better than the current gray ones. They are instantly readable, you don't need to read actual folder titles to see what is what.
Theming can achieved by using userChrome.css : http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=3064381&p=14872921#p14872921 but it's inaccessible to 99% of users out there.
It would be great if this was made possible via Thunderbird add-ons.
If it can't be a theme just yet, at least add a checkbox or even just a config editor property to turn on/off legacy icons.

Folder icons have been changed between Thunderbird version 68 and 78. At a place I can't remember I found: there has been some technical reason for the design change. Ok, fine then, acceptable. Like me, there are some other Thunderbird users writing complaints in the community boards, so I think this is a topic regarding more than just a few users. The community is really trying to help but the current solutions circulating out there are far too complicated (just as A.S.Tashkinov stated above). I have tried to implement some of the CSS workarounds but could not get them running. Also, they suggested I should try the "Phoenity icons" AddOn ... but even this needs some CSS hacking. CSS is not within the capabilities of the average user out there.
I do know that time and resources are limited. I just want you to keep in mind: you could boost acceptability and usability by supplying s.th. like different "stylepacks" or "themes" or "skins", however you like to call it ... st.th. like "coloured folder icons" (as of v.68 and previous) and "grayed folder icons".
