Comment (by GregRoss):

 I've been doing some poking at this since 3.9b1 hit yesterday as my plugin
 uses custom color schemes.  I found the issue is that the previous
 recommendation for plugins was to use the 'admin_init' action to hook the
 calls for wp_admin_css_color(), but 'admin_init' doesn't fire until after
 script-loader.php runs so script-loader can't find the right css files and
 drops back to the default color scheme.

 Replacing 'admin_init' with just 'init' in my plugin "fixes" the problem,
 but of course runs on EVERY page load, not just the admin page loads.

 I haven't found another action yet that runs before the script-loader and
 only on admin pages.  Probably a few different possible solutions:

 - create a new action for admin color schemes, something like
 'admin_colors' (or find one that fits the requirement).  Downside is that
 all plugins that add color schemes have to be updated.

 - move the loading of the admin color css files until after admin_init.

 - revert back to the old code which blindly trusted that the css files
 would be there when need :)
