Default Colors not working after installing custom theme?

I wish I knew, cause it's annoying. A mild annoyance, but still annoying. If reinstalling the OS fixes it or if I find out what CAN fix it I'll update here for if anyone else in the future has this issue but nothing's working for them either.

I've tried RestoreDefaultColors assuming that's what was stopping me, but that doesn't seem to be changing anything either. Am I missing a registry edit or something else?

I'm using HUD Machine Launch right now if that helps at all, I just want to change the default colors to match so I don't randomly get green in some system window while the rest of the computer is orange and black.

You mentioned that you were able to change the default color scheme to match, what did you do to accomplish this, maybe that will give us some clue as to how to fix the issue.

I just used that to make a matching color. Same way I always did before I started using themes from here (so being stuck with the default appearance).
