I just upgraded my Apple WatchOS to version 10.0.1 and find the new bright orange Done screen for the timer really ugly and startling. Is there any way to customize this screen color?
Apple Watch Series 4
Not only do not like the color, I can't read it as easily as the previous color. And because of a couple of things I do during the day, I run multiple timers at the same time for different lengths. Being able to actually read which timer is going off was helpful so I knew which thing it was for, now its almost impossible for me to do so.

I must admit that I don't know which OS I was, but I do know for sure that the watch timer, which I use daily, did not have a Done screen that had a completely orange background for the entire watch screen.
If it was orange in watchOS 9 before, then something else changed so my 71 year old eyes are now having trouble reading. Maybe if the numbers and circle were black on the orange I could read it easier due to the contrast.
But I can’t find where to change that either. 🧐
No, what I said specifically was that it was "ugly and startling," not that I was unable to read it. The only tip I asked for was whether the color could be changed and, if so, how. Perhaps you meant to be responding to @greyland.

and my original answer was no.
When someone else enters the discussion it complicates the issue.

My 72 year old eyes find it unattractive but I can still see the X.

Did you read what I said?
You said the colour prevented you from seeing the end screen so I gave you a tip even a blind person could use.
All part of the service.

because Apple are not here.
No.
The color of watchOS timers finish alarm has changed from whatever color it was before to orange. I have a series 6 watch. And as stated, I have problems reading the orange face.
Hint - tap bottom left hand corner to cancel it. I can do that with my eyes closed and often do when busy cooking.
Um, huh? I was asking about changing the color - I know how the timer works. I use it every day!
It’s not the X nor the restart that I’m having a problem with.
I play multiple games that do multiple timed activities, so I need to see which time has expired so I can go to that game.
Make sence?
