Comment (by celloexpressions):

 There was discussion on this but a consensus was not reached and the
 Twenty Seventeen implementation was done as an experiment to gather
 feedback and decide whether themes should be encouraged to style them (it
 was decided that they should use the core colors on the light and dark
 schemes in the theme, where there isn't an obvious non-core color to use).
 The fact that you can't hide the icons while customizing could cause
 multiple challenges here - on the one hand, it makes the color hue option
 in Twenty Seventeen both more visible and more confusing (see user testing
 on make/design). But on the other hand, if the icons severely clash with
 theme colors the overall UX would be better if themes restyle them, so I
 don't think we should necessarily discourage that.

 The customizer is extremely neutral in its use of colors; the large
 amounts of blue in the icons diverge from that significantly. If we want
 to discourage themes from changing the colors, they should be brought more
 inline with the rest of the customizer design and simultaneously made less
 likely to clash with theme colors. Gray seems like an obvious choice;
 perhaps something based on the core secondary button styles?
