you can't turn off the colors, but you can change it from blue to any other color you want. it's in the accent colors section, too bad there isn't a transparent option like how the start menu is.

Is there any way to customize background colours of individual tiles yet without installing stupid apps from the store that have to launch as well as the actual program you are loading?

This is how i've had mine prettymuch since launch (although have ended up adding a few icons I havnt bothered creating custom icons for yet) as was the best I could do, although with some nice colour choices it would look so much better as well as easier to find icons based on colour.
