Windows 10: Adjust windows "Black" color used in the dark theme?

So as we all know now windows has officially launched the dark theme. I have enabled this in my settings. That being said the "Black" color is overwhelming and would suite me much better if i could force it to be a dark gray.

How do you customize the window color for dark mode? I am not interested in using any of the high contrast solutions.

I was searching all over the registry for this color value and was unable to find it...
