--------------------------------+-----------------------------
 I'd like to be able to implement a user's selected admin color scheme into
 my plugin admin UI design but, at this point in time, using
 wp_admin_css_color() to register a color scheme only asks for an array of
 colors and then depends on a stylesheet to use said colors so there's no
 way for me to, at the very least, detect a primary and secondary color to
 use in my design.

 From what I can tell, most color schemes have what they consider to be the
 primary and secondary color, and they use those colors for primary buttons
 and admin menu links and such, but there's no way for someone else to
 detect those color values.

 It would also be nice if there was a function to retrieve the color scheme
 info. Perhaps something like this:
 {{{
 function get_user_admin_color() {
    global $_wp_admin_css_colors;

    if ( ( $user_admin_color = get_user_option( 'admin_color' ) )
       && isset( $_wp_admin_css_colors[ $user_admin_color ] ) ) {

       return $_wp_admin_css_colors[ $user_admin_color ];

    }

    return false;

 }
 }}}

 But the big request is changes to the wp_admin_css_color() function so, at
 the very least, a primary and secondary color can be defined and stored in
 $_wp_admin_css_colors. Perhaps something like this?

 {{{
 function wp_admin_css_color( $key, $name, $url, $colors = array(), $icons
 = array(), $primary_color = NULL, $secondary_color = NULL ) {
    global $_wp_admin_css_colors;

    // If a primary color is not defined, use first color from $colors
 array
    if ( ! isset( $primary_color ) && count( $colors ) >= 1 )
       $primary_color = $colors[0];

    // If a secondary color is not defined, use second color from $colors
 array
    if ( ! isset( $secondary_color ) && count( $colors ) >= 2 )
       $secondary_color = $colors[1];

    if ( ! isset( $_wp_admin_css_colors ) )
       $_wp_admin_css_colors = array();

    $_wp_admin_css_colors[$key] = (object) array(
       'name' => $name,
       'url' => $url,
       'primary_color' => $primary_color,
       'secondary_color => $secondary_color,
       'colors' => $colors,
       'icon_colors' => $icons,
       );
 }
 }}}
