Uh oh!

Build 251 is on TestFlight now.
Pick your own accent colour. Settings, then Appearance, has a new Accent row with 18 colours. They are the same colours as the themes on the BookOrbit web site, so a library you themed blue there can look blue here. Thanks to the tester who asked for this.
The two small screens under the picker show what light and dark look like in the colour you chose. The change takes effect at once and everywhere: the tab bar, buttons, progress bars, the UNREAD labels in series and author lists, and the links in the reader's default theme.
It reaches outside the app too. Add the Continue widget to your Home Screen and change the accent: the widget repaints to match. The Lock Screen Live Activity uses your colour while an audiobook plays, and so does the confirm screen when you share a book into Apogee.
What stays gold. The app icon, the mark on the sign-in screen, and the generated covers for books with no artwork. Those are the app's own mark rather than the accent, and an icon cannot change colour while the app is closed.
Everything from build 250 is still here. If you have not tried the highlight and read-status fixes from that build yet, the TestFlight notes still list them.
Please update and let me know how it goes. One thing worth watching: if you find a screen that keeps the old colour until you leave it and come back, tell me where. That happened on series lists while I was testing and should be fixed now, but there may be corners I missed.
