I have tried toggling the Menu Bar setting on and off but the menu bar never changes from White to the color of the desktop image with macOS 26 on iMac M1.

Make sure System Settings > Accessibility > Display > Reduce transparency is disabled.

Not that many options...
Settings>Menu bar
Settings >Appearance
A SafeBoot Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support will sort many anomalies
Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
I am using the Tahoe desktop image and using the Show Menu Bar Background switch.
That was it! Menu Bar background now similar to desktop image, but darker.
thank you.
You're welcome.
