Additional context
It'd be great if the caption buttons and title bars got some more love as a whole. Microsoft has not decided on how they should look or act. You must think about hover states, pressed states, active and inactive, light and dark mode, and fade effects.

are you using WinUI 3 custom titlebar or it is system provided titlebar ?
@pratikone WinUI 3's custom titlebar.
The caption buttons are a pretty awful experience.
this is on our radar.
Seems like 2.5 years is not enough to fix a color I guess. Now we have this:
The whole titlebar implementation is a bad experience. If it is drawn by the OS DWM the color of buttons fades nicely in and out. I would expect the same from an implementation that comes right from Microsoft.
How to do it right is documented by Microsoft itself: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/dwm/customframe
The hover color of other 2 captions buttons has the same issue. @pratikone, even without using the WinUI control, the issue is there.
The WinUI 3 Gallery app actually has a workaround for this, so it's still not fixed.
