Ubuntu 22 added a new feature to Settings that allows the "accent colour" (orange by default) to be changed.

I'm wondering where this setting is stored and how I might be able to set it via the terminal.

This changes to a different Yaru icon theme and corresponding gtk theme by changing the settings org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme and org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme.

With the command line, e.g.:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Yaru-bark'
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme 'Yaru-bark'

The Yaru themes and icons are installed in /usr/share/themes and /usr/share/icons, and you can see the names by looking at the contents of these folders:

ls /usr/share/themes/ | grep Yaru

    I don't understand the answer. He was asking about accent color, and you answered about icon theme. – nonhocapito May 22 '23 at 15:21

    @nonhocapito "This changes to a different Yaru icon theme and corresponding gtk theme" so the way to change accent color through the terminal is to change theme – vanadium May 24 '23 at 01:10
