This will set the color tag on a file.

const filePath = // YOUR FILE  PATH

const filePathForAppleScript = `POSIX file "${filePath}"`;

//Select file in finder
sf.system.execAppleScript({
  script: `
tell application "Finder" to select {${filePathForAppleScript}}
`});


sf.system.execAppleScript({
  script: `tell application "Finder"
  set sel to selection
  if sel is not {} then
  set filepath to item 1 of sel

   --> 0-None | 1-Red | 2-Orange | 3-Yellow | 4-Green | 5-Blue |6-Purple
   --> Set number on next line with values above this line to set color

  set label index of filepath to 3
  end if
end tell`
})
