What terminal version.

I'm seeing this issue as well. Just updated to v1.7.1033.0 (the new release). No matter what I try, I can't seem to apply a color scheme using the new Settings UI. It gets reset back to Campbell on each relaunch.
Edit: This issue with with the default color scheme. Changing the scheme under individual profiles does apply the scheme properly to that profile.
Edit 2: Looking at recent commits, looks like it might be fixed in #9764

Same issue. Version: 1.7.1033.0
Edit: Also would be nice to be able to get to settings json file with keyboard shortcut (as before graphical UI ctr ,) because graphical UI doesn't have all the options settings json has. thanks!

Wait HOLD UP.
Are you going to the "Color Schemes" page
or are you changing the "color scheme" of a given profile:
The first page is used for editing the color scheme itself. The second is for changing the appearance of the selected profile. The dropdown on the Color Schemes page is just used for selecting which scheme you want to edit. It doesn't apply that scheme to any profiles.

Mike Griese (@zadjii-msft) You're totally correct, now that I've taken a look into that. Gotta say though, it's definitely confusing on first use. I would assume that the Color schemes page is for selecting a default color scheme for all profiles (and yes you could edit the colors as well). Then you can go into individual profiles and override to a different color scheme.
Perhaps it just needs some some clarification on what the Coloring schemes page does. Maybe selecting a default color scheme would be better suited under Appearance (if setting a default color scheme is a goal).

Is it possible to change default theme that would apply to all profiles like via settings.json?

Punting this for a release, since we feel like this wasn't wholly addressed in #13269
