    anniversary update broke the ability to use custom colors....


    It seems the anniversary update broke the ability to get custom colors though the run and then "control color" method. Is there any other way to achieve this?

    Mail and Calendar "more colors" missing on mobile

    I have a Lumia 950, running the latest insider preview. I recently noticed that the Outlook Calendar app no longer has the ability to select more colors when picking a calendar color - it only has the 9 default colors. I used to have the ability to customize
    the colors.. Where did this feature go??

    Colour

    Rey: We do not actually need to know that. The specific "Custom Color" control is new to recent builds of Windows 10. The
    ability to pick custom colors far predates that change. You could do this via either old UI or the Suggested Colors in Settings. All options discussed achieve the same end.

    Cheers,

    It didn't "break" it, the feature has been deprecated since Windows 10 came out, they finally just removed the code.

    More and more of Windows control panel will disappear with each new release, so expect this.
