Hi, I've just updated to Safari v15.0. The top part of the browser goes dark navy blue almost black on some sites and intermittently goes white again. I don't want it blue or black I want it the same as the previous version but can't find how to change it. How do I stop the colour changing? I have a Macbook Pro running Big Sur. Thanks in advance.
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.5

Thank you for your replies.
As I've mentioned in some other replies... It was driving me crazy last night. So I Googled for the second time in less than 12 hours and I found this article which wasn't available the first time I googled. That was before I received any replies to my query. I don't know how to turn off commenting. So I've put This query is SOLVED on this post reply and I will unfollow this query because I don't have time to keep reading and replying. Thanks for your understanding.

In Safari 15 > Preferences > Tabs panel, deselect the default enabled Show color in tab bar setting. That will suppress websites from controlling the color of the toolbar and tabs with the newly added support for theme-color in Safari 15.

Thanks for your reply. I'm in Australia, probably not in your time zone. It was driving me crazy last night. So I Googled for the second time in less than 12 hours and I found this article which wasn't available the first time I googled.

It's not in General, it's in Preferences > Tabs
Thank you VikingOSX for your informative reply. I'm in Australia, probably not in your time zone. It's already 23 Sept 2021 here. :) This feature was driving me crazy last night. So I Googled for the second time in less than 12 hours and I found this article which wasn't available the first time I googled. It's good that I found out how to turn it off before I reverted back to the previous version of Safari.

IMHO this feature is a dreadfully big fail. I gave some feed back via the Apple site last night too.

The meta tag theme-color is part of the HTML standard now, and the only blame to be assigned to Apple is defaulting that Safari Preferences Tab setting to on. Otherwise, it is, or soon will be a feature in all current browser vendor updates. It is driven by the website designers who choose to use that meta tag to force custom colors for the browser toolbar and tabs.
Try to uncheck Show color in tab bar in Safari's Preferences... -> General.
to stop the colour change go to safari preference under tab deselect ''show colour in tab bar''
Hi PingPongBear,
you’re right: I mistakenly typed General instead of Tabs. Sorry.
Please read the previous replies before you reply. I solved this myself via a google search last night and shared the link in my reply to other comments before yours. Thanks.
