Folder heatmap based on open count

It would be nice if I could colorize my folders based upon how many times I've opened them.
For example a folder that I open many times would get more red, folders that I open infrequently would get painted green, something in between would be yellow.
Thanks for consideration

Will surely never come natively but could be solved via (quite a bit) of scripting.
No time for that here...

Finally got round to finishing this script. Had a lot of fun fixing problems.
Anyway here it is .
FolderCount.xys

I put the results in a PaperFolder because of course, the folders would be spread around.
I also made a discovery that if you chose a root directory,it would naturally be classed as a zombie.
So had to find an easy way to allow zombies.

A native "TreeSize / WindDirStat / SequoiaView"-view would be very welcome, btw. ^^
