Changing the default "modern" theme

Having created a Team site in SPO (via the SharePoint admin centre, not a O365 Group Team site), the theme consists of a purple/pink colour that the business team does not like:

 

 

I'm aware that changing the modern theme is not yet available for "classic" Team sites, but there must be a way to change this without creating a whole new site, why apply a random purple theme by default if it can't be changed?!

 

Any ideas?

  • Here is a classic Team Site i created the other day. Default it looks

     

    Changed it to another colour theme, using Change the look, and it now looks like 

     

    I have to say it takes an age to apply the new theme. (and the site icon is what i uploaded the other day).

    You do have 'Change the Look' via site settings. OK, i know you are restricted to the given themes, but at least you can get rid of the pink for now.

      Hmm I don't believe that's correct. The classic theme is set to "Office" by default, and even changing it to Office again doesn't affect the pink.
