macOS Mojave: How to adjust the system accent color

  • Head over to System Preferences and then General.
  • Under Appearance, you’ll now see an option for Accent color. By default this is blue, but you can change it to one of the 7 other options available.

Accent colors change UI elements such as app menus, popup menus, radio buttons, focus fields, and more. In addition to the new Dark Mode in Mojave, it looks like Apple is also letting users customize other graphical parts of the UI a bit more.

Changing your accent color will automatically change your highlight color to match. Highlight color is pretty self explanatory in that it changes what color appears when you highlight text. They don’t have to exclusively be the same color, either.
