Custom Tab Group Colors Removed

When Edge force restarted for me on Aug 6th to Version 151.0.4129.59, suddenly all my custom colours for tab groups were gone, and the flag related to them is also gone? I'm now restricted to just the preset colours, which has removed all contrast between my groups, making them all blend together, and there's not even enough for every group to have its own colour.
It's awful. They're all the exact same shades with just faintly changed colour tints.

Yet I've barely seen anything about it. Is it just me? Is there any way to fix this? Because it sucks.

Why would this great feature be removed?

    Hi,

    No, it's not just you. I'm missing it as well, and I've checked both Edge Beta and Canary, but the flag seems to have disappeared all of a sudden. I even checked for a command-line parameter that could restore it, but unfortunately, I couldn't find it. At the moment, there doesn't appear to be any way to restore the feature. That said, I highly recommend reporting this issue by pressing Alt + Shift + I in Edge. Hopefully, Microsoft will bring the flag back in the next update.
