Windows 10: Aug 28 update colors

After the latest updates, last night, the colors on my desktop have changed dramatically, and I HATE them.
__ The desktop "windows" background color progression was so glaring on the left side I finally had to change it to a solid color after trying all the available coloration options.


Since changing to the solid color, I have to choose either "light" or "dark" and neither is acceptable. Light makes my task bar white, and dark makes all my tabs black. -- I do not understand why anybody would make such drastic changes to something that was not a problem, especially with no ability to revert to the previous coloration.


How can I get the previous coloration back?
