How do I change the iconColor of a Sharepoint GraphAPI.DriveItem

From Sharepoint, a user is able to set the color of a folder, eg:
Folder with color changed

From GraphAPI, the DriveItem shows this color: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/<driveid>/items/<itemid> API Response

Attempting to patch this value: {"decorator": {"iconColor": "darkOrange"}} Returns this response:

{
    "error": {
        "code": "generalException",
        "message": "General exception while processing",
        "innerError": {
            "date": "2023-11-23T22:01:55",
            "request-id": "b5618811-6f98-4cf8-9a2a-b81d35fe559d",
            "client-request-id": "00d0e876-c8f6-a2e9-5de7-878a69ba7805"
        }
    }
}

The driveItem documentation doesn't mention this property. Is there any way to change this value via an API?

Hi @Martin Clarke，

Per my research, currently there is no such api to change icon color. This is a new feature in SharePoint Online. SharePoint only support to change the color from UI.
