In the recent Insider update, Microsoft has added 13 different color themes for Touch Keyboard. These themes also work on Voice Typing and Emoji Panel.

What’s more exciting about this new feature is that you can create custom color theme and save it. You can now create a color theme for Touch Keyboard by specifying desired foreground and background color, and save it. The new color themes option is in controlled roll out and not all insiders have it. Luckily, I have it is enabled in my build and I will show you how to use it.
