How to change tiles' background color in Windows 8.1 start screen?

I think it's sad that MS did not think users MIGHT want to customize this. There's so many customization options in win8... but not this?

I find it even MORE sad that they do not understand our problem! -.-

Dear MS-team.

Here is a screenshot of how my startscreen looks:

Here is the same picture edited in PAINT how I WANT it to look:

SERIOUSLY!?

It NEVER occured to you that "average" users would want to change those colors?!?

PLEASE give us a user friendly way to change those tile backgrounds, and SOON.

Two days ago I got a response from the Windows Team, referencing my participation in this thread, and telling me how to change things.

They told me how to go to personalize, and pick out my main and accent colors.  Holy Krab Batman, are they serious?  I had that done 15 minutes after I got my new laptop for my birthday.  How can we ask them to solve the problem, when they don't even understand our complaint?

I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say our accent and background colors are just fine thank you.

How about fixing the tiles, or charms, so the program names aren't ona  background of  blood red, pumpkin orange, or Linda Blair Green?

Of course I tried to answer the email they sent me, but here's a shocker....it didn't go through.

Did I really think I could reply to the email they sent me?

This is the same post I received from you on Feb. 09 (couldn't get a reply to go through). Actually I mean the colors of the tiles themselves. For example; the tile that says "store" a red; the color of the tile that says "people" a green; the color of the tile that says "Internet Explorer" a orange (these are not the colors I want but just examples). I have several icons pinned to start and I was thinking of color coding each group. As I understand it this is not possible in Windows 8.1. However thanks for the reply.

I couldn't agree more.

Just forget everything. Win8.x sucks. Go back to Win7, learn how to make updated images, learn to use sysprep, and be happy.
