We discussed this in this week's BCD meeting:

This is still supported for installed web apps, and the spec does not require the color to be used (apparently there were some limitations before, to avoid contrast issues).

Therefore we should just add a note instead of setting partial_implementation or version_removed:

Suggested change
"version_added": "15",
"version_removed": "26"
"version_added": "15",
"notes": "From Safari 26, the theme color is only used for installed web apps."
