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

Please give us an update on when we can change the colors of Teams. This would make a lot of people happy in our organization.

Hello! What has been the verdict? Has the feature teams reviewed this ask? Any update?
How nice it would be for Teams to have different color combo options, somewhat like the already-made choices for PowerPoint backgrounds.
Features like this will be effective in drawing users to your platform. Many times people choose Zoom or Slack just due to their aesthetics. You can't offer infinite variations of Teams, but perhaps a variety of color and font options would. be. amazing.

So true, I myself is not even wanting to try teams just becuase of their color scheme otherwise would have switched over to it from slack long before.

The lack of customization options for the overall interface is disappointing. Being able to at least select a custom accent color would be a step in the right direction.

Please just let us set colors like slack does.

Color themes are the most simple functionality of any and all apps and still so many apps don't have it... And most of the people are interested in color themes more than in practicality :D

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.
