Comment (by Joen):

 The colors proposed are beautiful. Nevertheless I missed the aspect of
 this effort where the colors were not only reduced and made into
 variables, but updated as well. I don't see that as fundamentally
 problematic, nor a blocker for this effort to land. But I did want to
 highlight that the block editor uses neutral grays, as part of this effort
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/18667

 The grayscale is perhaps the most re-used set of colors, across the
 different themes, especially as the palettes gets reduced to primarily
 grays and spot colors. For that reason, I would love to see the grays
 converge with what the block editor does.

 It also happens that the shades of gray currently used for the block
 editor have a #f0f0f0 that is very close to the currently used background,
 #f1f1f1. Here's a before/after https://cloudup.com/c6yY1OATMmY

 The full sheet of colors is shown here:
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/master/packages/base-
 styles/_colors.scss


 Whether here and now, or later, there's an opportunity to unify here.
