Folder Color works in most distros: Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, openSUSE, Arch Linux, or pretty much anything that has Nautilus, Nemo or the Caja File Browser.I'm not sure it will work with all the themes you've installed but it will with basic ones.

enter image description here

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:costales/folder-color
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install folder-color
nautilus -q
