Firefox Color messed up my favorite theme (Find bar became irreversibly white)

I'm here thanks to a suggestion from @FirefoxHelp on Twitter.

I posted about it on Twitter and on Reddit. The screenshot can be found here or here.

I am a user of Firefox Developer Edition, I think it was at version 102. I am running Windows 10, version 21H2. So here's what happened: I had Rayrsn's "Dark Space Full Transparent" theme installed; its code is also available on GitHub and it has been forked from another theme called "Dark Space" by Nicothin. It is a nearly all-black theme, sporting an animated dark UI (including a black/dark Find bar that popped when pressing Ctrl+F); it had been working perfectly fine for many months now.

Then, I got a notification saying Firefox now had a new feature called Firefox Colors, which allows custmomization of the UI colors.

I hopped on tried and played around changing a few colors here and there. Then, dissatisfied with the results, I tried undoing a few of the changes I've made and it didn't work out well. So, I clicked this cursed button: "Revert All" (the leftmost button on top).

After that, my theme glitched and got corrupted, and now the Find bar always appears in a milky-white color, instead of the theme's default black color. I am unable to undo or revert this one change, either from Colors or from anywhere else.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the theme. It doesn't work. I tried uninstalling the Firefox Color addon. Zero results. I tried restoring Firefox. It didn't work either. I tried fully uninstalling Firefox. Nope. I tried disabling Firefox Sync. It took me a while to succeed in it, but it didn't solve my problem. Finally, I tried uninstalling Developer Edition and using other editions of Firefox instead. The issue persists.

I suspect there must some setting buried down deep somewhere in my OS must be affecting this one theme. What should I do? What files or settings do I need to dive into and change?

I know it may sound like a very trivial problem, but for me, it has become so annoying and aggravating that I don't even feel like using Firefox anymore.

PLEASE HELP ME. Thank you.
