trying to set Paint() color to primary theme

trying to set the color to the primary theme in my flutter app, get an error where context is saying The argument type 'PaintingContext' can't be assigned to the parameter type 'BuildContext'. any idea how to fix this?

   final paint = Paint()

  ..color = Theme.of(context).colorScheme.primary; //Thumb Background Color
  ..style = PaintingStyle.fill;

All you have to do is add a color property

class MyCustomPainter extends CustomPainter {
  final Color color;
  MyCustomPainter(this.color);

}

and then use it like

Container(
color: Colors.transparent,
width: double.infinity,
height: 70,
child: CustomPaint(
painter: MyCustomPainter(Theme.of(context).scaffoldBackgroundColor),),)

What might be happening is that you are trying to use a PaintingContext where you should use an object of type BuildContext. To solve this you could either pass the BuildContext or directly the color to the CustomPainter.
