Comment (by celloexpressions):

 One of the biggest problems is that the label is not "site title" color,
 but header text color. If we keep it, it should also change the color of
 the header nav, which matches the title, as this is something that users
 would expect to be able to customize. Without being familiar with the
 typical way this control works in other themes, and other than the fact
 that users can see what's changing in the customizer, I don't think new
 users would expect the current behavior.

 In terms of design, I don't think having a different color for the site
 title will help anyone; in fact, I would imagine it will generally make
 the site look worse. We probably don't want to make it this easy for users
 to make their site look worse (especially after seeing some of the CSS
 customizations that have been done to Further). Since it's on a black
 background, using any color other than the default white will result in
 less contrast, which is probably not the desired effect for the site
 title. Users would still be able to hide the site title under this
 proposal, which should cover the majority of use cases.

 The option is really not very useful, and is just one more unnecessary
 option for the user to look at (decisions, not options...), see prior
 discussion on #25094. So I think we should remove it if possible, I'll
 look into possible implementations in core this weekend.
