Could you please explain why you have chosen that particular color for
<branding>?  Should we have separate colors for the light and dark
color schemes, for example?

Thanks.

I took it from the website https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/.

Here are a few other possible combinations taken from the website.  I have attached an image demonstrating them behind the Emacs icon.

  <branding>
    <color type="primary" scheme_preference="light">#7f5ab6</color>
    <color type="primary" scheme_preference="dark">#624195</color>
  </branding>

  <branding>
    <color type="primary" scheme_preference="light">#f4f2e9</color>
    <color type="primary" scheme_preference="dark">#624195</color>
  </branding>

  <branding>
    <color type="primary" scheme_preference="light">#f4f2e9</color>
    <color type="primary" scheme_preference="dark">#7f5ab6</color>
  </branding>

I guess this is the top one in your screenshot?

This color scheme looks fine to me, FWIW.

Thanks, installed the patch with the above added (on the master
branch), and closing this bug.
