MS-Windows does support desktop themes and global default colors for
various UI elements.  Emacs on MS-Windows first looks in the Registry
for Emacs-specific settings of colors (this emulates X resources, so
the names of the settings are identical to their X counterparts), and
if not found, defaults to the system-default colors (whose names can
be seen at the end of the buffer produced by list-colors-display).
