Comment (by youknowriad):

 > We have generally agreed that a solution using custom properties with
 appropriate fallbacks will be used, but getting any more specific than
 that right now is bikeshedding.
 > Instead, we're focusing energy on reducing the number of colors used in
 wp-admin, so that any color scheme can be more easily implemented. This is
 currently in progress, and we'll be looking for design and accessibility
 help to make sure we're using the right colors.
 > Once we've reduced the colors used, we can pull out those colors into
 custom properties.


 I have to share that this is exactly what my PR does. it was ready a few
 weeks ago. This how I feel now. Instead of reviewing a PR and helping land
 it which would have taken a few days maybe. We're going to spend way more
 time to just do the exact same work.

 My PR already reduces the number of colors, adds the custom properties and
 setup the PostCSS plugin properly to support IE11. At the same time it
 also fixes a bug already on Core where people use the Gutenberg components
 relying on Gutenberg's custom properties on Core pages that don't use
 Gutenberg (This has been reported on Gutenberg).

 I think WP-Admin usage of colors is small enough to be able to do this in
 a patch/PR.

 If you all want to continue with your direction that will just take months
 to land for  the same result, that's fine, I understand the need to take
 time to understand things properly but if folks want to achieve the exact
 same result in a week or two, I'm happy to help. So far I didn't feel like
 my contributions are welcome.
