Sorry, but you don’t seem to know what you are talking about.
Microsoft-style design happens when managers make decisions
outside their competences, and Apple-style design has little
to do with artistic vision.

I… wow. I wouldn’t know where to start, if I even knew what to
say.

No wonder that no one outside the echo chamber ever hears of
Catalyst.

I didn’t see anyone suggesting any particular tweak to any
colour, only comments on whether colour schemes worked or not.
Of course, as you appear to think (like most people) that design
is just making things pretty, it would be all the same to you.
I just wonder why do you spend your effort arguing about whether
people should care about colours when that’s an arguably
unproductive use of your time.
