Custom color wallpaper Panel Sequoia 15.4 Mac not working

So, you can either create a small image in the flat tint color you want to use as your wallpaper, or you can continue lying to yourself that it can't be done.

Perhaps it's too difficult for some. 🤔

Looks like this is fixed in 15.4.1, which came out today.

I was using one of the listed colors, and when I installed the update it reverted to a landscape wallpaper (I think Sequoia Sunrise). I went into system settings and was able to replace with a custom color.

Wallpaper custom color now works in 15.4.1 update. You have to scroll all the way down to "colors" in the wallpaper menu and click on "+" which opens a color picker palette. drag your color to the little palette box to save it.

Apple is not here. I wouldn't know. I make my own wallpapers.

After the update macOS Sequoia 15.4 the background colors does'nt work anymore!

Have you read any of the rest of this topic? Like the link in dialabrain's post?

Not me. I've never made a mistake. If you don't count typos. 😎

Fixed in the 15.4.1 update released today.

Same issue here. Everything was working now the wallpaper BG is always white if I select a custom a color.

This is why it's never really worth it to update. More things break than get fixed.

The wallpaper color working correctly is a foundation feature and it is wild to see this kind of feature not working. Should have been solved decades ago.

Yes you can screenshot a solid color but that's not a permanent solution.

I'm retired, but still do color and retouching photo work. I use a specific shade of gray to match the gray of my GraphicLite color viewing booth. The default choices are either too dark or too light.

I was so hesitant to update today, a Monday, at the beginning of my work week. hahaha.

I can select the preset colors they give you, black, blue, etc., but it ignores my custom color setting. I used a JPEG of gray as suggested by others.

Yes, I am waiting patiently for Apple fix this and am not into creating work arounds as, I expect my update not to alter my screen to white and that the original solid screen colour I had to be the same, and the Colour Ball option to work. And yes, of course I have reported it to Apple, but they have ignored this problem since the release of 15.4 a month ago regardless of many people being affected.

and am not into creating work arounds

So, you think you're showing Apple who's the boss by refusing to create a small image in less than two minutes. Hmm.

It really is as simple as using any app that can display the color you want, pressing Command+Shift+4 to cut out a tiny screen shot of that color and then putting the image in the Pictures folder of your account.

There is no real solution in jpegs as, Apple need to fix the colour ball choice that has always worked until this update of 15.4 in Sequoia. I personally cannot keep spending my time to sort out things that get messed up in so-called upgrades or updates. I do not want my settings played around with thank you very much. I spend enough time sorting out my Mac to how I want it, and really do not need anyone altering my choices.

Well, as they have not bothered yet, don't bet your house on it. Apple are famous for saying that they are going to fix something and then do nothing about it. After 22 years of Mac's I kind of know how they roll :)
