Change the colour of Teams, the default purple is deterring everyone from even trying it, and refusing to move from Slack
Basically anything but purple or variant of it
Personally i like green, but variant of blue will also do

I have no preference on color choice here and purple is just fine but, because you don't let multiple accounts be active simultaneously. The teams app and the teams browser need to be able to have something to differentiate them. The color would be helpful to do that from either the web or application. Thanks

I also agree with deally, the user should be able to set the default color, and the admins of channels should be able to set the channel color, and chats should be able to be colored differently. especially being able to change the various chat header colors to be diff so easier to visually identify and not click into wrong chat

It would also be good to be able to highlight the meeting entries in the Schedule part of "Tasks by Planner" app.

Agree with everyone on this page. A bit sick of the purple. Would love to be able to change things up a bit now and then (also just not a big fan of this purple).

Yeah pretty sick of the purple. I know it seems petty but if I could change to another preset it would be a welcome break. Like changing desks.

+1 even a set of presets would be nice if customisation is too big an undertaking. The humanistic / UI features between Teams and Slack is presently heavily skewed to Slack, so incremental development in this area would be much appreciated.

This would be a great feature! Especially if we could do it from the Admin side to make it fit our personal branding

Microsoft has not considered usability of Teams by color blind people. For some people the Yellow clock indicating someone is away is difficult to discern from the green clock indicating they are available. Any descent consideration of usability would have different icons to indicate these different status's, not just a different color.

This should be a configuration option to change the header and sidebar colors to whatever an end user wants.

@ Alex : No more purple would be great. Maybe themed like MS Office or customizable, either case no more purple would be great

#signed Purple sucks. At least let users customize the accent colors like Slack.

Remember how ICQ was so much nicer on the eyes than MSN Messenger?
Same thing. People are not inspired to use applications that make them depressed. MS fails again.

Slack is so cheerful in comparison. Teams is ugly, grab, depressing. Seriously how hard can it be to code in some more themes?
