I'm also interested in changing/customizing the colors of my tiles. It would seem to be helpful to be able to use color to group different tiles by type or function, or to more easily differentiate tiles grouped together. I would be willing to be a beta test site.

2013-12-18T15:36:13+00:00 I like the tile colors in windows 8.1. The only trouble is I want to use the tile color to group the tiles which I don't seem to be able to do now.

I would like to keep all of you who have commented on this thread in mind as potential beta testers in exchange for freebies.
I could be bothered.

You have not replied correctly to the question.
The question was :
How to change tiles' background color in Windows 8.1 start screen?
You answered : Your tiles will use the background color of your application.
So I am repeating the question with other words :
How to customize tiles' background color in Windows 8.1 start screen?
I want to specify the background color of the tile MYSELF.
Thanks.

At the very least, I need some indication of your use case scenario to choose between applicants (I will select 6 that seem to represent a range of typical scenarios).
