How to change the color of the icons in the activity bar using settings.json

Question

I've been following this tutorial by Coder Coder to make my vscode look better (tutorial link https://youtu.be/pGzssFNtWXw). As per the video I've opened the settings.json file and just wrote some code But when I try to change the color of the icons in the activity bar, nothing happens, here is the line of code I tried to use to change the color:"activityBarBadge.foreground": "#000000" this does not work though

Here is the code:

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
        "editor.background": "#000814",
        "sideBar.background": "#000d20",
        "sideBarTitle.foreground": "#ffd60a",
        "sideBarSectionHeader.foreground": "#ffd60a",
        "activityBar.activeBackground": "#ffea81d5",
        "activityBar.background": "#22223b",
        "statusBar.background": "#ffd60a",
    }

Here is the result I got:

To change the Activity Bar icon colors use these two colorCustomizations:

"activityBar.inactiveForeground"

"activityBar.foreground" // for the active icon

If you move the Activity Bar to the top (setting: Workbench > Activity Bar: Location) then you can use these colors:

"activityBarTop.foreground": "#0b1691",
"activityBarTop.activeBorder": "#ff0000",
"activityBarTop.inactiveForeground": "#ff0000",
