I'm not sure about window colors and such but in preferences under
desktop & screensaver under the desktop tab is where you can pick a
desktop picture. In that list of folders under Apple is also one item
called "Solid Colors" which you can use to set your desktop color to
anything you want.
For finder windows, from what I found, you can only change the
background color in the icon view. To do so, open a window, make sure
you are in the icon view and the command-J to show view options. In
there is a radio button that lets you choose between white, color or
picture. So you can make it any color you want but they don't let you do
this in the non-icon view.
Another site suggested using f.lux:
https://justgetflux.com/news/pages/mac/
which lets you change the color scheme based on the time of day but it
was pointed out that you can customize those so you could use it to make
the color scheme whatever you want.
Hope this helps.

asking apple accessibility to maybe create it sounds wonderful. Thank

It sounds like you are trying to emulate the level of customisation
,that you can get on Windows, on the Mac. On Windows you can fine
tune colours for particular elements of windows. including borders,
background, menu shades etc. However , although I have no vision and
not an expert in this area at all as far as I am aware this is not
possible on the Mac. The mac relies on colour profiles rather than
allowing individual fine tuning. I think this is a trade off of
customisation versus system stability which tends to be the
distinction between Mac and Windows all across the OS. Windows is far
more customisable but is also far less stable andiron to frequent
crashes. Colours do matter for O/s, even on Windows Jaws for years
did not work properly with some colours.
Others have shown accessibility profile like invert colours.
I hope that I am wrong and someone will show you a way I am not
familiar with..
In the meantime I suggest you contact Apple Accessibility and specify
the colour scheme you would find helpful and ask if that could be
added as a colour profile. This is unlikely to be released before
the next OS upgrade though even if adopted. If others support the
colour profile you request this is likely to have more impact..

If memory serves me correctly, you go into system preferences,
look for display. I think the color options are in there. However,
the person who wrote the other reply is correct, you can also
invert colors through excess ability.

advanced settings on the mac to change background colors of
applications or windows, for example I would like my desk top

to be black and the text to be white. If anyone can help
please let me know how to do this. Thanks in advanced Zoe
