How are you changing the foreground on the MenuFlyoutItem? If you set the Foreground property directly on the element, this will override any values being set from style.

Yeah I just change the Foreground on the MenuFlyoutItem. If I hover the mouse the text and icon will change to white/black, and when I move the mouse away only the text reverts to the color I set. The icon remains white/black.

You can see the very fist AppBarButton that is blue works correctly, but the two MenuFlyoutItems don't.

Thanks for clarifying!

I think this is a similar root cause to #7208.

In the default template, the TextBlock has Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}", however the ContentPresenter for the Icon has no Foreground set. So when transitioning away from the PointerOver state, the icon foreground does not revert back to what it was previously.
