How to set different theme and color on Microsoft Edge

On Microsoft Edge, you can personalize the experience with different theme colors for the browser’s frame and the primary look for elements like new tabs, pages, dialogs, and menus, with the light and dark color modes.

The settings are available through the “Appearance” page starting version 91, and you can customize them for each browser profile.
