There is GetGraphic() method and GetGraphic().Symbol for the GraphicElement, but how to change the fill color?

This is a graphicelement drawn on a graphicslayer using the Graphics tab on the ArcPro UI...

Have following: but

CIMPolygonGraphic polygonGraphic = aoi.GetGraphic() as CIMPolygonGraphic;

// Access the symbol of the polygon graphic
var symbol = polygonGraphic.Symbol;

// Change the fill color of the symbol using SetColor
if (symbol is CIMPolygonSymbol polygonSymbol)
{
var solidFill = polygonSymbol.SymbolLayers.OfType<CIMSolidFill>().FirstOrDefault();
if (solidFill != null)
{
solidFill.SetColor(ColorFactory.Instance.RedRGB);
}
}

// Update the symbol in the graphic
polygonGraphic.Symbol = symbol;

Gives following errors:

Change the color on the symbol, not the fill.

if (symbol is CIMPolygonSymbol polygonSymbol) polygonSymbol.SetColor(....)

To change the color on a fill, use its color property.

var solidFill = polygonSymbol.SymbolLayers.OfType<CIMSolidFill>().FirstOrDefault(); solidFill?.Color = .... ;

"Symbol" take a symbol reference not a symbol. An unfortunate property naming.

//polygonGraphic.Symbol = symbol; polygonGraphic.Symbol = symbol.MakeSymbolReference();
