Also, the only other current way of doing this right now is by rooting your phone and manually doing it. You can check youtube / xda developers on how-to.

Problem is, Verizon Note 4 has root, but last I saw, still in testing phase, AT&T has no root yet.
T-Mobile can be rooted.
No idea about Sprint.
It's amazing to me that there are 6 pages of chatter, but no mention of a solution other than installing a list of other messaging clients. There has to be a way to change the color...
so unlike kitkat 4.4.4 you cant hold the left key on the Samsung s4 active to customize messaging or any other options? All that key does now is bring up google.... seems like far less options with this lollipop update
After I d/l lollipop, I was so happy to see the color orange was the messaging app's color. I love it!
I hate it too. Those of us with Migraine Disease are very sensitive to colors. After working with the Lollipop colors for a while I got hit with a particularly nasty Migraine. The orange is very offensive, and the blue or green are a close second. Definite triggers for me. Not allowing customization is just too much Apple-ish for my taste. I purchased Textra for messaging, but still have to find a new keyboard app because the white keyboard is killing me. I truly hope the developers are paying attention.
Open the default texting app, menu button, settings, display.
You should be able to change them there.
Jay Santos1,
I had already tried what you suggest, spending way too much time on it. Hence, the Migraine. The options are just not there. Forcing people to stay with a particular color scheme is not why I chose Android. I chose Android because I detest anything with an "i" in front of it, and the micro-managing that Apple does on everything. So, I added another keyboard app, but had to pay for Textra because I had been using the free one, and loved it for messaging, but the free one now has ads. And it is fully customize-able. There are thousands people with visual issues that just cannot tolerate certain colors. I am thankful for Android being open-source, and am allowed to add apps to make things easier, but they crossed a line with this update, and I hope our voices will be heard.
I have an LG G2, so maybe it won't work the same, but I also couldn't stand the new color and found my way to this forum. I may have found a solution, so I came back to hopefully give some reprieve to everyone's rods and cones... Try going to Settings>Accessibility>Color Adjustment. From there, you are supposed to slide your finger to change the contrast. I have not figured out how to get exactly the colors I want, BUT I do know that just by playing around with it, I have gotten rid of the hideous orange! Let me know if it works for you!
