In Windows 10, the start menu tiles all have the same background color, determined by the color theme you choose.
However, the Microsoft Office tiles (e.g. Excel, Word) each have different colors – Word is blue, Excel is green, etc.
Is there any way to set individual colors on other tiles? E.g. could I set Visual Studio to be purple and Evernote to be green?
To be clear, I don't want to control the overall theme – e.g. I don't want all tiles to be green instead of grey – I want to control the tile colors individually.
