Changes in any theme lead to changes in all themes.

[Felixxz]

The problem is that Papirus-derived theme directories refer to Papirus directories. Accordingly, changes in any of them lead to changes in all. For example, after command:

papirus-folders -C orange -t Papirus-Light

all papirus-derived themes will be orange

$ ls -l /usr/share/icons/Papirus-Light
total 2848

I suggest not using symbolic links to the Papirus directory so that changes in the directory of any theme do not affect other themes

Papirus Dark distributed with Papirus. What you are want?

You have instrument "papirus-folders" for changing symlink of icon colors for Papirus-Light, Papirus-Dark, ePapirus... but it doesn't work correctly, cause if i use it and chose key "-t theme -C color" symlinks depend on Papirus directory, only not a specific. If i want to create new Papirus-Theme for users, user can't choose Papirus-Icon colors from suggested list, all themes will have the same color.

Yes, papirus-folder work not standart method, for compability with Folder Color
