When you only want to remove the coloring, then do

  M-x customize-face RET region

and remove the background color there.

If you don't like the new special handling [1] of the active region at
all, then put

     (transient-mark-mode -1)

into your ~/.emacs.

[1] Some commands behave differently when the mark is active of
    deactivated.  This can be very handy, although this feature
    isn't used too much till now.
