I understand that methods in SwingUtilities3 had to be static, but why the colors couldn't be passed to the method as parameters? [I did suggest](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/23324#discussion_r2169199694) passing the colors as parameters:

Storing the colors as global variables in a utility class leaks these objects. After L&F is changed to something else, these colors persist in `SwingUtilities3`.

The same applies to the new static fields in `WindowsMenuItemUI`. They're not needed. [I had raised this concern](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/23324#discussion_r2169217699), it went unanswered and marked as resolved. And I believe there's a new bug because of these static fields.
