Custom color wallpaper Panel Sequoia 15.4 Mac not working

Same here! It's really annoying! I want my custom colored desktops back.

Here 😆 worked fine 20+ years until 15.4. Its 2025 with a $10k Mac Silicon and now surprise. Genius

Looking at the user discussions this has been FUBAR since 15.1.

It hasn't. I always use a custom tint and it worked just fine up through 15.3.2. Or whatever the last 15.3.x release was.

One workaround is to create a solid block of color in Word (or any similar program), take a screenshot, and then use the Add Photo option in the Wallpaper system preferences to set it. Worked perfectly for me!

It's a known problem with Sequoia 15.4.

yea its broken - had to make up a image in photoshop to get my 50% grey back

Rude? You wrote:

Which indicates you hadn't read the other responses, or you would have followed the link to the topic that explains a few ways to create a small image of the tint you want, and how to apply it. Which means you wouldn't have needed to post your reply. Except maybe to say, "Thanks for the link. Just what I needed to know."

If you wonder why long time members get a little snippy at such replies, look at all of the "me too's" in topics like this one, where each person CLEARLY didn't read a single reply in multiple pages stating the same answer to the same question over and over and over …

J Browne's solution works for me, too. You can set a custom colour only by creating an image which is entirely that colour, and set that image as your wallpaper.

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.

It worked for decades before Sequoia 15.4

It is if you don't change it.

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.

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

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