How do I change contact colors with the new messages update?

[Android Central Question]

The update changed my contact colors from bold ones to pastel. I want my old color options back. How do I do that?

Welcome to Android Central! If you're talking about Android Messages, they took that option away with the latest update. It's been causing a bit of an outcry: https://www.droid-life.com/2018/09/...the-new-android-messages-even-with-dark-mode/. The best thing I can suggest is to send Google feedback through the Android Messages app's Help & Feedback menu option. If they get inundated with enough complaints about it, they may very well bring that option back with a future update.
