Trying to change the color of my taskbar.

Go to Personalization > Taskbar > Changing taskbar color > Open Colors setting.
I get this screen:

Does EVERYONE'S Accent Color > Recent colors look like this?

This UGLY green color is the color of my taskbar and the COLORS page WON'T LET ME CHANGE IT.

Anyone have any suggestions?

    Able to use WINDOWS COLORS. They are mostly ugly, too.

    Just sent feedback AGAIN.

    Thank you.

    Thank you. Just wanted to find out if it was just me. The green is REALLY ugly. Wish they'd fix it.

    So you can't even choose 1 of the Windows Colors

    or you prefer not to?

    If it's a can't, please file the issue in the Feedback Hub.

    Pick your color from the Windows Colors, not the Recent Colors.

    If that doesn't work then please file the issue in the Feedback Hub.

    Actually, I was trying to use a CUSTOM color from the MORE menu. Can't get it to work.

    The Recent Colors NEVER change on my computer. Always that ugly green.

    Don't quote me, but I think that has been broken for awhile.
