Change default note colour in Outlook

New notes in Outlook are a horrid yellow — is there no way to change the default? Some web articles point to 'Note and Journal' settings in 'Options', but I don't seem to have that Options category.

    Dear JTReimer,

    Thanks for posting questions in Microsoft Community.

    I think new version Outlook cannot change default colour for new notes, it is by design. Users can only create a note first then select a category to change the colour.

    Please let us know if you have any questions.

    Best regards,

    Freddy

    Hi Darpan,

    In Outlook, navigate to 'Notes' (not Mail or Tasks or People) and click 'New Note' and prepare to be blinded by yellow, especially blinding since I use dark mode.
