Background color on phone calls

Why did the background color on phone calls change to ugly blue and gray?

I updated my iPhone to IOS 17.1.1 a few weeks ago, and since then, my background color when answering calls has changed to a dull grey color. It is not pleasant. At the same time, I only get small icons for callers, even though I have full screen set for incoming calls. What can I do to go back to the better screens options?

Isn’t there any response from Apple to give a way we can use better color as background dull grey for calls. Seems it was a change which took place after the latest update.
