Windows 10: Task Bar Color use to be my choice

I have Windows 11 Pro version 24H2. I use to be able to set my taskbar color but now it defaults to an ugly yellow. When I go into personalization - colors it only lets me set my taskbar color when I pick dark mode. I want light mold but I want to pick my color. How do I keep light mode and pick my taskbar color?

Task bar color

There is no way or set of instructions that I have completed that gives me the choice for a task bar color.

I have tried everything even going back to the classic control panel.

Does anyone have a successful way of get color to the taskbar?

Thanks.

 

Accent color for start, task bar, action center

 

Task Bar Color

Somehow, the task bar changed to plain "light", and the box in "Start, task bar, and action center" under accent colors in Settings is not activated. Can someone explain how I can re-activate this box so I can revert to the color I chose for the task
bar?
