So I looked a little bit more into it. On a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 Gnome
that I run, it actually registers as expected.
For testing, I then installed KDE with sudo apt install kde-standard.
During the installation it asks you to switch the display manager from
gdm3 to sddm, which I did. Then, the behaviour I observed happens if you
launch into Gnome. I even reverted back to gdm3 again, but now it also
has the same behaviour there.

I've installed Ubuntu 24.10 (clean install), which comes with Gnome 47.0.
Running tests/manual/events/PlatformPreferencesChangedTest, I can
observe that backgroundColor (GTK.theme_bg_color), foregroundColor
(GTK.theme_fg_color), and colorScheme correctly reflect the system
settings. When I toggle "Dark Style" from the Ubuntu system menu, the
values update as expected.
It seems strange that the problem would appear for you with Gnome 46.0
as well as 47.4, but it doesn't appear for me with 47.0.
Maybe something else is going on with your configuration.

Hello,
it seems like the Platform preferences API does not properly register
theme updates anymore in the latest desktop environments.
In my testing, it didn't work on Gnome 47.4 and KDE Plasma 6.3.2. The
color scheme is always light and no updates are registered. The accent
color is also always the default one.
On Gnome 46.0, when you change the dark mode setting, the GTK.theme_name
is actually updated but the bgcolor and fgcolor properties are not,
leading to the color scheme not being updated. But here, the properties
are definitely detected correctly on initialization, it's just the
updates that are not happening at runtime when something is changed.
