Can you make the Accent Highlight Color darker in Ventura OS?

After upgrading to Ventura OS, text highlight colors are too light to see in many apps.


Is there a way to make them way darker?

In Settings > Appearance > Highlight color, the last item on the list of colors is Other, and when that is selected it brings up a color picker so that you can choose a darker or custom Highlight color.


In Settings > Accessibility > Display panel, you can enable Increase contrast and Reduce transparency to see if those improve Highligh visibility. You can even use the Display contract slider for further tweaking.
