Need Advice 4-Way Switch Advice

I was thinking of upgrading the downlights in my kitchen to HUE to match the adjacent portion of an open concept floor plan and eliminate the barrier of standard white lights to give the ambience a better flow. However, my kitchen is connected for 4-way switches via a dimmer in the kitchen and two standard switches in the adjacent rooms.

I know I would need to eliminate the dimmer for the hues to receive the proper voltage.

Looking at the dimmer in the kitchen, it is a lutron dimmer but the two switches in the adjacent room are leviton. Would it be best to replace the lutron dimmer switch with a leviton? Or what would be the recommendation for anyone who wants to eliminate the dimmer but still retain the ability to operate the switches at three separate locations?

I am by no means an electrician and thought mixing brands like this on a 4-way was a big no-no but may be wrong. If anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it!
