Hi  TrevorC ,
At this time, Power BI does not provide direct access to all theme color hex codes (dataColors) within DAX. You may wish to submit this as a feature request or upvote an existing idea using the link provided.

As a workaround, you can create a disconnected color table with category–color mappings and use a measure like below for conditional formatting:

)

Then apply this measure in the Field value option under conditional formatting to get theme based colors.
