Change iMessage Bubble Color on OS13

Can the color of the bubble background be changed. White text on unnecessarily garish green is tough to read. Getting pretty annoying.

The blue messages as iMessages, Apple's messaging service. The green ones are SMS messages, the carrier's standard messaging service.

You can't change the colors.

On my device some of my contacts messages bubbles in iMessages are different colors. Why is that if you said that those colors couldn’t be changed

You didn’t show any messages that had different colors. Green is the color of an SMS message.
