Settings Location for Changing Color of Toolbar
Click Three Dots for ‘Settings and More’ (or press Alt+F) → Settings → Appearance → Customize appearance → or Theme for more specific options for background color.
Customize Overall Background Colors
You can select from ‘system default’, light and dark modes. It will change overall appearance of Edge browser by applying colors to background of page as well as toolbar area.
Selecting a Theme to Change Background Color of Toolbar
You can select a color theme from built-in options, or you can also get other themes built by Microsoft. Selection of a theme works independent of light and dark mode and applies to toolbar area.
You can see two colors in each theme. One color applies to all inactive tabs and other color in theme applies to the one active tab where you have opened some website page.
Select and test different color themes and finalize one which is comfortable for your eyes and focus. My favorite color theme in Edge browser is mystical forest.
I prefer a theme which provides better contrast between active and inactive tabs so that I can quickly locate the active tab among a lot of opened tabs.
