Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge\Startup, home page and new tab page User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge\Startup, home page and new tab page Description
By default, the new tab page sets the company logo backplate color to the neutralStrokeActive (#cecece) constant. You can configure this policy with a color hex code to change the company logo backplate color on the new tab page. If this policy isn't configured, the default neutralStrokeActive (#cecece) color is used as the backplate color. Example value: #cecece

BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
