"Enable Color Filters" toggle with AppleScript in Ventura

I found this Apple script https://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?pid=209067 for toggling "Enable Color Filters" and it worked perfectly for Monterey. But now that I upgraded to Ventura, it stopped working. I'd very much appreciate if someone much smarter than me updated the script. Thanks in advance!

That is the problem with GUI scripting. As things are rearranged, specific things like "item 1 of group 1 of ..." will no longer work.

And, as you probably have noticed, System Preferences were overhauled in Ventura, so probably all of these sorts of scripts will need a significant rewrite.

MacScripter is not run by Apple. You'll have to ask whoever wrote the script.
