Bug description

When searching something YouTube provides some categories such as People also watched, followed by For you, Previously watched, From related searches and Latest from (Whatever channel you searched). But these are showing up in a grey color and are not following the theme patch.
Issue:

This issue is reproducible only if all of the following conditions are met:

Condition 1. Using YouTube v18.43.45+.
Condition 2. Using Google account which A/B tests have been applied.
Condition 3. Disabled Spoof app version setting.

This issue cannot be solved by simply adding unsupported colors.

This is because the same color is used in many different layouts, including the button container.

With our current method we cannot apply a theme only to search results.

The following is a temporary solution:

Method 1. Patch to YouTube v18.42.41 or earlier.
Method 2. Patch YouTube to v18.43.45 or later, and spoofing app version to v18.42.41 or earlier via Spoof app verison setting.
