Office2013 colours in XAML

[Jason]

Is it possible to get hold of the Office2013Palette.Palette.AccentMainColor in XAML?

I know you can get hold of the brushes, using something such as
      telerik:Office2013Resource ResourceKey=EffectAccentHighBrush

however, I need to assign to a color property in the XAML. For the Windows 8 theme, I would use something along the lines of 
      Color="{Binding Source={StaticResource Windows8Colors}, Path=Palette.MainColor}"

Is there a way to get the similar value for the Office2013 theme? 

Thanks
Jason

Hi Jason,


Thank you for contacting us. 

As it turns out, it is not possible to customize Office2013 palette in XAML, only in code-behind.  
I recommend you use the approach suggested in our online documentation.
Once you change one of the default colors, all Telerik controls in your application will be affected. 

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I'm already aware of that code, but that doesn't really address my issue.

I'm creating new templates that I want to colour, based on the colours set in the code you linked to above. However, I don't want my templates hardcoded, hence the desire to get to the palette in XAML.

I shall look into another approach
