Steps

Touch and hold an empty space

On the Home screen, touch and hold an empty area until the options menu appears.

Tap Wallpaper & style

In the options menu, tap Wallpaper & style. The appearance settings open.

Scroll down and open Colors

Scroll down in Wallpaper & style and tap Colors. The Colors screen opens with a live preview.

Try Other colors

To explore palettes that do not depend on your wallpaper, tap Other colors at the bottom. A second set of palettes appears.

Choose the green-and-blue palette

Back on Wallpaper colors, tap the green-and-blue palette, the last dot in the row. The preview updates and Apply turns blue.

Tap Apply

Tap Apply at the top right of the Colors screen. The palette is applied.

Check the applied colors

Back in Wallpaper & style, the Colors row now shows the green-and-blue split circle, and the Home screen preview uses the new colors.

Good to know

Wallpaper colors palettes are drawn from your current wallpaper; Other colors palettes are independent of it.
The preview updates as you tap palettes, but nothing changes until you tap Apply.
You can also change color contrast, icons, and layout from the same Wallpaper & style screen.
