I’ve recently just upgraded to the 11. I remember on my 10 that you could change the color scheme for the iPhone. It would change the on/off buttons to a different color. It is not related to inverted colors or changing the screen for color blindness. It was a completely different setting. I cannot find it anymore in the settings. Anyone remember this and where the setting is? Or has this option been taken out in one of the “updates”?
iPhone 11, iOS 13
There was no similar setting, outside of maybe jailbroken devices. There’ve been apps with similar capabilities, certainly. Tweetbot is one. Apple made a big marketing effort around dark mode, which probably wouldn’t have been fodder had there already been other color schemes.
The only choices I'm aware of is regular mode, or dark mode.
The only thing that comes to my mind is in Settings>Accessibility>Display & Text size...

I remembering making a change to my phone that changed the on/off switch colors. It was before dark mode. I remember being able to change it to red
I don't recall ever being able to make a change like that. While I know you could change the switch style slightly, to add the | and o, but not a color change. There never was a theme color setting.

I know what you’re stating. I’ve never encountered that color-changing setting for controls across any iOS or iPadOS device, across many years. Nor encountered this in any of the many Apple developer videos I’ve watched.
Not outside of some specific apps, where those sorts of display color changes were and are quite possible. Tweetbot can absolutely do what you remember. As can other apps. But not iOS or iPadOS itself, AFAIK.
Font sizing and color and motion-related shifts for better usability, yes. But you’ve already ruled those out.
