Assuming that the stakeholders come from a direct culture, it would be appropriate to acknowledge their feedback and show different color combinations as a possible solution. This approach shows respect for their opinions while also taking into account cultural differences in communication styles. It is important to remain professional and open to feedback, even if it may come across as too direct or critical.
