Change the background colour of a mindmap object by using labels

I want to do: change the background colour of all objects with the label <folder> to blue

enter image description here


@startmindmap

skinparam backgroundColor transparent

* layer 1
 * layer 2
  * obj
  * obj
  * <&folder> obj folder
 * layer 2
  * <&folder> obj folder
@endmindmap

If anyone has experience of this, I would gladly accept any 'pearls of wisdom' they are willing to impart.

Solution 
  • @startmindmap
skinparam backgroundColor #EEAADD

@endmindmap

    Using this syntax you can color your boxes.

    I found this method on this link.
