The color changes in Finder for macOS Tahoe were part of a broader design update introduced by Apple. This update includes the use of a new material called Liquid Glass, which creates a sense of depth and dynamism within the user interface. The design changes aim to make the macOS experience more vibrant, expressive, and personal, allowing users to customize their Mac with different colors and themes. This is part of a larger effort to harmonize the design across Apple platforms, ensuring consistency while retaining the unique characteristics of macOS.
For more details on the new design, you can refer to the session Build an AppKit app with the new design (00:00:00).
