The spelling is crucial. I couldn't get it to work via 12 other website's tips. The H I L I T E instead of H I L T E is required! Kinda makes me wonder if the devs didn't have a typo... +10 for Carl.

But what would be even better would be if the highlight colour could be the same as the label colour so all these identical folders can be distinguished from one other easily. Anyone know how to do that in terminal? And even better, to increase the number of labels and add my own colours to them? Seems the labels are only grudgingly provided in OSX - do a search on them and almost all you find is stuff about address labels. Yet they were very useful in OS9 and you'd think they might have been developed a bit since then. I'd love to have tastefully coloured folders (to my own choice of colours) which retained their colours in the dock. Great!

I'm not sure if hilte works in 10.5.8 or if this was a typo, either way. Works like a charm in 10.6.2 when you spell it properly/differently:
