Lock Screen clock no longer readable due to automatic color

A recent update changed the formula for Lock Screen clock color. I have the grey cobble stones image for my Lock Screen, and the clock is no a grey that is all but invisible against this background. Can I change this color somehow, or should I just put a Microsoft sticker on my iPhone?

Please see the pic below which is self-explanatory, you can change the colour

Only option I get is to add a new wallpaper, which I don't want to do. So no, not self explanatory at all. Do I need a new phone to get this "feature"? Or do I need to add a new wallpaper that uses the same image so that I can set the color to something and then delete the old wallpaper that uses the same image with the automatic color?
