Hi Andrés David Santacoloma Isaza,

If you want to remove the color blend applied to a theme, you should just call the RemoveAllColorBlends method of the Theme instance, for example:

// applying the color blend
Telerik.WinControls.Theme currentTheme = Telerik.WinControls.ThemeResolutionService.GetTheme("BreezeExtended");
currentTheme.AddColorBlend("BaseColor", Telerik.WinControls.HslColor.FromArgb(255, 56, 154, 254));
currentTheme.ThemeProperties["BaseColor"] = Telerik.WinControls.HslColor.FromArgb(255, 245, 143, 41);

// removing the color blend
currentTheme.RemoveAllColorBlends();

However, if you want to apply color blend to a theme and keep the original settings of the exact same theme, please note that this is not a supported behavior. The solution is to create a copy of your theme with a different theme name than the original theme. This article describes how to load one of the predefined themes. While saving it, you should just set a different theme name. The saved theme can be loaded in your project as described here. Finally, you will have two different themes in your project which give the same look and feel. When you apply the color blending to one of the themes, the other theme will remain untouched.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,
