is there any way to find out the current theme color set for the Modern UI? A WinAPI function or registry value would be the best possible solution for me.
By current theme color i mean this.

After reverse engeneeing my system using procmon.exe, I’ve figured out that the registry key under the path
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Accent\ColorSet_Version3seems to be the selected color.I can read and write to it using the registry editor (regedit.exe) and all changes get applied immediately.EDIT: After some further research, it seems to be read only, changed don’t get applied “anymore”. There seems to be anything at path
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SystemProtectedUserData\S-1-5-21-3552576858-2522621019-3615910227-1001\AnyoneRead\Colors\ImmersiveColorIndex_Version3but I can’t manage to change the value (even with admin rights)
