You can not do this natively in windows. The border color and title bar color are tied together under the accent color.You would have to use a third party tool. https://www.stardock.com/products/windowblinds/

You can do that by using the ''Windows 11 Accent Window Border'' mod on Windhawk...

or you could install cute-borders which is based on windows-api....that'll make it look even more pronounced borders....I personally use tacky-borders for thicker borders.
