There is no way to directly query whether any of the platform-independent properties (colorScheme, backgroundColor, foregroundColor, accentColor) are supported by the current OS. You can check whether the platform-dependent mappings (for example, "Windows.UIColor.Background") are contained in the map, which will only be the case if supported by the OS. > - The documentation mentions that some preferences might not be > available on the current system.

If you see a mapping for a preference, it should also be updated automatically if the corresponding OS setting is changed. Do you see the mappings for "Windows.UIColor.Background" and "Windows.UIColor.Foreground" in the map returned by Platform.getPreferences()? The color scheme value is derived from these colors. If the mappings are not present, something unexpected is happening.
