Hello, wondering if I am missing something:
Build: e_vayu_userdebug 11 RQ3A.211001.001
Creating or changing an existing Style will only allow the Blue color to be selected, there are no other color options available.
settings > Display > Advanced > Styles & Wallpaper
Tried installing Lineage OS and this does allow alternate colors to be selected… Now fresh install of eOS I can still only select Blue.
Any ideas? Is it possible to change the color manually in a file somewhere? Blue on dark theme is not great for my old eyes.

Thanks AnotherElk… Can you believe I search for ages and could not find anything on the topic!
Its clear, I can choose any color as long as its Blue
Would still be interested in knowing if this is just a setting in a file some where I can change.
You can just add your question to the issue in the GitLab. Since it’s the place where the developers are, there’s a good chance you could get an answer .

Thank you for the reply. Nice to know this is not happening only to me and that it will be fixed in the future.
Found a workaround via ADB, tested on FP4:
Found a workaround via ADB, tested on FP4:
use this command to change the accent color, in this example to purple:
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.theme.color.purple
If you want to change the color back, use this command:
adb shell cmd overlay disable com.android.theme.color.purple
This also worked for my FP4 for green and ocean and should work for all of these colors (case sensitive):
blue (default)
black
green
ocean
space
orchid
purple
