Better to get his apps from F-Droid though and then support the author(s) via their website IMO. I only linked to the Google Play store for reference. Because they better show the number of different apps he's created and has available. I use probably at least 5 of his apps.

Simple Mobile Tools

You may install a different launcher that supports custom icon pack or try replacing some of the default apps with their counterpart from Simple Mobile Tools since they all allow to change the icon color.

Basically, if the stock apps on GrapheneOS don't support some features, I found that Simple Mobile Tools have some really good apps that are customisable.

Take a look at the Simple Mobile Tools. They are open source and can be downloaded via F-Droid. The have a dialer and a contact app. The color of the app can be customised in the settings as well if you don't like the orange color theme.

Did you try Simple SMS from https://www.simplemobiletools.com/ ? How does QKSMS compare to that? I was delaying from switching to Signal to another app for SMS and just recently I started using Simple SMS but I'm willing to switch to QKSMS while it's early if you have have experience with both and still recommend it.
