Import it:

import 'package:system_theme/system_theme.dart';

Use the getter SystemTheme.accentColor.accent to get the system accent color.

final accentColor = SystemTheme.accentColor.accent;

To reload the accent colors, use the method load():

await SystemTheme.accentColor.load();

You can load the colors before running the app, so the colors can't be wrong at runtime:

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  await SystemTheme.accentColor.load();
  runApp(MyApp());
}

To avoid unexpected outcomes at runtime, it's recommended to configure your own fallback color. The fallback color is used if the system is not able to provide the color.

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();

  SystemTheme.fallbackColor = const Color(0xFF865432);
  await SystemTheme.accentColor.load();

  runApp(MyApp());
}

To simply listen to changes on the system accent color, use the SystemTheme.onChange stream:

SystemTheme.onChange.listen((event) {
  debugPrint('Accent color changed to ${event.accentColor}');
});

Alteratively, you can the SystemThemeBuilder widget to listen to changes on the system accent color:

SystemThemeBuilder(builder: (context, accent) {
  return ColoredBox(color: accent.accentColor);
});

The flutter/foundation package provides a defaultTargetPlatform getter, which can be used to check what platform the current app is running on.

You can check if the current platform supports accent colors using this extension method:

import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart' show defaultTargetPlatform;

void main() {
  final supported = defaultTargetPlatform.supportsAccentColor;

  print('Accent color is: ${supported ? 'supported' : 'not supported'} on the current platform');
}
