New Monogram color options are terrible – how to add old colors back?

The new update to Mac Sonoma and iOS 17.1.1 uses pastel monogram colors for contacts that are muted or greyish. Some colors I was using prominently, such as yellow, have been removed. I identify most professional contacts by color (clients are yellow, colleagues are blue, professional contacts are green, etc.) and the new options are terrible for differentiating contacts at a glance in messages and prioritizing responses.


Can I modify the contact monogram color options or set the standard defaults?

iPhone 11, iOS 17
