Windows 10: Change color of startup/shutdown screen

Way back in 2015 when I clean installed Win10, during the setup process there was an option for choosing a color. I chose a hot magenta color which appears during startup/shutdown. (To be clear this is the color I see when the little dots are going around in a circle and is different from my accent color) Now I am sick of it and can't figure out how to change it. I understand about personalizing accent colors and whatnot but this color appears during bootup and shutdown and nothing I do within Windows personalization changes it. Aside from reinstalling windows which is out of the question because I have too much stuff to reinstall, I can't figure it out. I backup diligently so I won't have to go through that nightmare. To make matters worse since I have synced my theme I see this hot color on all my devices. Where is this setting embedded in my registry?
