WP8 - Live Tile Icon Color - windows-phone-8

Question

How do I set the color of the main icon of a live tile in a Windows Phone app? By default Windows Phone 8 sets it to a black and white.
I want to set the icon to a color like red, similar to how the Evernote tile has its icon in gray. Anyone knows how to do this?
Thanks!
