@Amulya-95 as I said above, we're just using WinUI's resources here. Can we close this in favor of the attached WinUI issue?

(it can't auto-detect the colors for the split button, so I picked them manually)

I believe this was fixed at some point in the past, likely when we updated a MUX version (unclear which).

I also think we've got a new a11y team now so I'm gonna close this one out.
