How to reset default contact color on iPhone?

Hi if I click on any contact in my contact list the contact shows up sitting in light lavender background Is there a way to reset this default color for all contacts do you have to do it individually by contact and if so can you do it through iCloud some how ?

That's the new default color for contacts. You can go into the contacts you use most frequently and choose a contact poster for that contact, which will change the color background of the contact, but there is no setting to change them universally.

As a Senior in my 70's age bracket, I'm really finding the lavender color is difficult for me to read. In addition, I often copy and send a copy of my Contacts' Page to others via social media.

I've tried for hours to work backwards from the update 26.1 to change the Clock setting, The App setting, the lavender glass setting, etc. I'm VERY upset that Apple hasn't allowed us to CHOOSE these updates individually!
