Under Android 7.1.1, how do I change the color of contacts ?
If I don't add photos, each contact gets a colored dot with their first initial in it, and when I text them, their text is also that color. I like this feature, except that two of my contacts got the same color. How do I change them to be different ? SinisterLefty (talk) 23:23, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

UPDATE: I found a way to change the contact's color in the text thread, but that doesn't seem to change their color in contacts. How can I make a change and keep the two in sync ? SinisterLefty (talk) 00:26, 18 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Try deleting and re-adding the contact, or just adding a second copy of the contact. I don't use Google's software for contacts, but IME most of those colors are automatically randomly generated and can't be changed. 93.136.58.135 (talk) 05:36, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
