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?

SolutionHere 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).

Ah yes, apologies Tanya you are right. Changing to a different theme (e.g. Breeze) does make the pink go away. Though if I change back to Office the pink returns. Looks like I can resolve this with a custom composed look. Thanks for your help!

You may find that if you take a copy of the default theme, and add it as a custom one, if you then select that custom one, your modern sites may behave.
(I've not tried it)

I have confirmed that if you create a custom theme it can be applied to a classic site and it does work. I used the PnP PS cmdlets (set-pnpwebtheme) to apply it.

Thanks for the heads up @Drew Madelung, this works for me as well!
