One UI 6.1 no colour on lock screen/ always on screen

[DavidC_Surrey]

I've just had the One UI 6l.1 update pushed out top my S21 Ultra and am dismayed to find that the lock screen is now monochrome grey on black. The clock and any notification icons are all just grey. 

Within just a few seconds I am wishing I hadn't installed it, as I can't see anything in settings about this. 

Previously it was very easy to recognise the notifications, eg the green WhatsApp one. Now it's grey. Email notifications all now show the same grey envelope outline instead of the red or blue envelopes that different apps showed before. 

What a mess.

Mine does not have a color wheel . When I look at my lock screen I can customize but not the always on

I had the same problem and I couldn't change the colour of the AOD because the colour options were greyed out.
After a month of playing with it, I've got a part solution.
Scroll down to the bottom where it displays the different types of clocks and instead of using the default option at the foot of the choices; choose one of the other styles which then unlocks the colour palette.

None of those colors are visible to me at night or bright light

Are you going into settings-aod-edit lock screen?

Yes , they are pastels I want bright blue hot pink or lime green depending upon my mood visual acuity among other things. Scamsung is literally stripping options away from the phones that we PAID for and may well have been a factor in our purchasing their junk now they are peddling bloatwear that does NOT work and all the while NO SD card to write to I'm up for an upgraded I'm moving to an iPhone they offer cloud, no 3 x a week updates forced on you like Scamsung is doing a couple of the apps I use to make this customizable will transfer to the iPhone,  I paid $1800 for a phone only agree to allow them to have access to things they do NOT have rights to and to strip features that sold me on the brand and phone ,believe me I've tried everything nothing has worked its time to hit them in the sales I won't respond further as ive tried it all it won't work let us also NOT forget the washer that they refused to service under warranty face it Scamsung sucks

Whatever you think of Samsung I can assure you they are far better than iPhone. I have to deal with those of my customers
