Comment:

 Hey folks, I wanted to help a bit this with these efforts. I started the
 PR above. It's working surprisingly well for a quick PR.

 Here's some of the important notes from that PR:

  - I only added a variable for $highlight-color (and few variations for
 it).
  - I merged several similar colors that are close together. (I think we
 can probably remove/merge more by tweaking styles but this should be a
 separate effort).
  - I didn’t add support for CSS variables for the menu colors, I think
 it's better to get the system in place with a single color and decide
 separately to potentially add new CSS variables. The one we're certain
 about is the highlight color.
  - This PR requires compilation already to get the “default colors” but
 I'm hopeful we can remove that by just embedding the `:root` default
 colors into a CSS file that is always loaded in the admin.
  - I mirrored the naming of the Gutenberg variables like discussed in
 yesterday's meeting.

 Also, let's consider this ticket for 5.6
