Is it possible to follow device theme?

[oabragh]

chromium has a “follow device colors” option iirc or at least it respects the system’s accent color. but brave doesn’t, i have to manually pick the theme color making the browser often look inconsistent with the system

there was 2 related posts but both closed without any replies.

Direct links to the reported GitHub issues regarding the “Follow device colors” functionality in Brave Browser:

• Issue #43373 : “Follow device colors (accent) doesn’t work on Brave”
  • Reported: January 19, 2025
  • Summary: Users report that enabling the option in brave://new-tab-page/ results in the browser failing to adopt the system accent color, unlike in standard Chrome.
• Issue #48514 : “If Windows colors are set to custom color and Follow device colors is enabled… selected device custom color is not shown”
  • Reported: August 19, 2025
  • Summary: Specifically addresses a bug where custom Windows colors (e.g., “Camouflage”) do not populate in Brave’s theme settings even when the toggle is enabled, despite working correctly in Chrome.

@Mattches of Brave Support, or possibly @fmarier of the Brave team may know the status of the same or similar issue with Linux OS users.
