Change checkout cart & notification emails accent color

[scannables]

Hello!

I'm in the process of setting up a Shopify store and am unable to change the color of some elements. Namely:

- The top-right cart button in the checkout

- Buttons and links in notification emails

In both cases, a specific purple color is being used that I chose while setting up the Shopify store over a year ago. I put the project on ice and am only recently continuing with it.

I suspect this color was defined somewhere in the Shopify Admin UI that is no-longer accessible.

I can see from analyzing the checkout source code that the CSS variable being used is: `--x-default-color-accent`

I've tried:

- Changing all colors accessible via the Shopify Admin UI (inc. in "Settings" > "Brand" & "Checkout" > "Colors")

- A different store theme

- A new store as a test (where I can't reproduce the issue)

I know there are probably some hacky ways to override the color of the affected elements (and I'll do this as a last resort), but I'd prefer to get to the bottom of the issue and change the root source of the color (in case it's used elsewhere in Shopify that I haven't spotted yet).

Thanks very much in advance for any assistance!

i got the same issue check: https://community.shopify.com/c/shopify-design/checkout-color-issue/m-p/2626130#M689426

this is probably a bug in which when you change accent color you can not change it back for the whole checkout .. policy links and this stuff are remaining the same color please report this to shopify and let me know when you find a solution

Thanks @Kessarkess !

This bug seems to have been resolved by Shopify.

I'm now able to change the accent color in checkout settings and all expected elements are updated.
