You can also click on <strong>&#8220;View colors&#8221;<\/strong> to create a custom accent color.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/windows-11\">Windows 11<\/a>, you can change the color accent to anything, and in this guide, you will learn how. The accent color (not to be confused with the &#8220;color mode&#8221;) is the color that emphasizes certain elements of the interface, such as the Start menu, Taskbar, Settings app, window borders, and title bars.<\/p>\n<p>The system offers two ways to customize the experience. You can let the system automatically pick an accent color based on the desktop background&#8217;s colors. This means the accent color will change whenever you change the wallpaper automatically. And you have the option to choose a color manually.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that the accent color doesn&#8217;t change the color system color mode (unless you use the custom settings). Instead, the accent color adds visual queues across the experience. For example, you will see this color on icons, under the app button in the Taskbar, toggle switches, certain fonts in the Settings app, windows title bars and borders, etc.<\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/how-to\">guide<\/a> will teach you the easy steps to change accent color for your desktop experience on Windows 11.<\/p>\n<h2>Change accent color on Windows 11<\/h2>\n<p>To change the accent color on Windows 11, use these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>Open <strong>Settings<\/strong> on Windows 11.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click on <strong>Personalization<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>Colors<\/strong> tab.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Choose the <strong>Manual<\/strong> option in the &#8220;Accent color&#8221;
