Lollipop basic color changes?

[AC Question]

I have to believe it is possible to change the terrible pastel colors in the lollipop update. I can't seem to figure out how to change the colors at the top portions of basic function apps like contacts, messages and even the dialer to something less like ios. I like a sleek black, blue and silver motif. This is a game breaker for me. When I open my badass phone to make a call I don't want it to look like i'm calling elmo. I don't want to root unless I have to so other advise would be great.

I am wanting to do the same thing on Note 3. Just installed Lollipop and the colors are all pastel - feels like Elmo.
Any help appreciated.
