Maybe, but increased UI element granularity in the Application Colors
"framework" would help users customize their own themes.

And, it would probably improve LO "automatic" appearance when following os/DE
provided theme(s). More significantly, IMHO [1] it would allow project to
design and deliver more cohesive "non-automatic" UI themes--not bound to os/DE
delivered theme.

Examples from other FOSS offerings abound, e.g. GIMP, Inkscape or Krita where
the application provided color themes are more complete and cohesive. With less
reliance on os/DE theming.

"Automatic" os/DE driven would still be the default--as set by 'LibreOffice'
color scheme, but expanding the project offerings with additional color schemes
in a more granular framework would give equally viable theme alternatives to
users and make for good UX with out the users have to "roll their own".
