Description
On iOS we offer custom icons as it's an option provided by the system. Speaking with @ParaskP7 we wanted to explore whether it's possible to bring this to Android as well. There are five color options, but I'll show two for the sake of brevity:
Pink:

Spectrum:

I've exported all five background colors as separate SVGs. The foreground SVG is included in this zip, but it's unchanged from what we're currently using.
If we find out this is possible, then I'll look at how we should present the options in the UI.
