Description
Big s/o to @stmoy who helped point me at the fact that this is possible with XAML.
refer to: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/design/motion/motion-in-practice#implicit-animations
Also refer to the "Implicit Transitions" page in the xaml controls gallery.
Apparently we can add a trivial amount of markup to our XAML to get some pretty slick color transitions. I think this would be awesome to add.
(maybe also relevant: #1001, #7216 )

Research direction
Start with the linked Microsoft implicit animations documentation and the Implicit Transitions page in the XAML Controls Gallery. Confirm how the terminal's theme and other color changes are represented, then determine which transitions should be covered; done means the selected color changes animate smoothly without disrupting theme switching.
