The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points; begin by locating the accent color menu and its wallpaper and custom color options. Review the attached mockup and define the preset palette behavior and UI before implementation. Done means users can select predefined color palettes from the accent color menu.

Description

Feature
Feature Request Summary

I’m not sure how often people change their wallpaper, but I do it pretty frequently. One thing I’ve noticed is that it would be great to have a set of preset color palettes, similar to what macOS offers. Sometimes the “Wallpaper” option doesn’t pick the best contrasting color by default, and I usually end up switching to “custom” to select the one I prefer.

That flexibility is awesome, since I can choose any color I want, but there are times when I’d really like to have saved presets to make the process faster. I put together a quick mockup to show what I mean. I think this would be useful for users who change their wallpapers often, letting them quickly swap between predefined colors without extra steps.

Problem / Opportunity & Desired Solution

Users who often adjust their desktop wallpaper might spend extra time selecting colors manually. A built‑in set of saved palettes would streamline this process and make switching faster and more consistent.

Alternatives Considered

Use the current "wallpaper" or "custom" colors options.
