I am having troble understanting the nesting function.

I don;t understand the css code with regards to the FoldA, FoldB, etc. When I change these folder colors they do not flow thru to represent my level 2 level 3 folders. So I changed Fold1 to blue. When I make subfolder (level 2) the very first subfolder also shows the same blue I guess becuase it is the first folder at the level when I want level two to be different. But then when i create level 3 and level 4 it also reproduces the same blue at each level. Even though for FoldA and FoldB and FoldC I have other colors whihc do not seem to sow anywhere that I Can tell. Not working out. Can someone direct me to the part if the css file I need to modify to get the sub-level foders to work?

### What I’m trying to do

Modify the css so that all folders at each level share the same color. All blue on level 1, red level two, etc.
