Change color of icons for external hard drives on desktop?


I have a new MacBook Pro with a variety of external hard drives for storage. Can anyone tell me how to change the color of the Hard Drive on the desktop so I can make different drives show as different colors?

Command i opens the information pane for the drive you can copy and paste right onto the highlighted icon in the upper left of that Information pane, with your custom imgage of your choice.... in your case a specific color blotch.
