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

#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?

Please give at least one other option besides purple.

In general, it would be great to be able to personalize more the experience color-wise, probably even have the option to set different colors for different group chats to avoid sending messages to incorrect chats from time to time.

Im not so bothered by the purple color but what I don't like is that in high contrast mode, which is my preference, presence indicators for contacts ARE NOT color coded. this makes it impossible at a quick glance to tell someone's status, At a minimum, please make these color coded like everywhere else.

Just out of curiosity where are you working (also what department) that has people deterred from teams by the color?

Please! This lavender is sickly and I desperately want some choices in between the bright white and dark black backgrounds.

The first thing I wanted to change after installing Teams is its color and I cannot do it (－‸ლ) .

Having the ability to change the individual backgrounds of the Teams chats would be so helpful as an extra visual aid to know which person, group or team you're talking to.

@David, I love the colors of the other O365 apps and it does help to have that distinction, but now that we use teams all day, every day, it's important to have users enjoy what they are looking at. For apps that get used this often, it would be great to see the ability to customize the colors. Telling users to grow up and deal with it is not a great way for MS to win meeting market share.

For some people with dyslexia this is not a preference but a requirement to help see.

I don’t understand. Excel is green, Word is blue, PowerPoint is “burnt orange”, I think. I get it. Your people don’t like purple, not my choice either, but out of all the things Teams needs, this is at the bottom. Tell your users to grow-up and deal with it.

It should be a clear background with dark font or viceversa. Impossible highlight and use bold font. It is getting worse!

The most disturbing thing is at Channel, the message editing box does not stands out, so you type message, and attach a picture, click send, only picture is send, and the text message is not, still in editing model, but need a close look to find out.

Up voted. This needs to at least be something that can be customized by the user. There is no application with a higher need for branding and personalization than this.
Actual teams typically have colors and images associated with them. Other platforms like Slack and Webex Teams are neutral in their default color schemes, allowing them to blend in with the team "brand". Microsoft is forcing their own branding here.

The visual design of TEAMS is very ugly. Similar problem with windows MAIL. New messages or unread emails don't stand out. It feels very cheap. There needs to be a more prominent difference in new/unread than simply Bold font.
