Comment:

 Thanks for the report!

 The padding comes from applying the background to that specific paragraph
 block, using a `has-background` class.

 {{{
 p.has-background {
   padding: 1.25em 2.375em;
 }
 }}}

 ([https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/1baa7106dfbc4b61217090eac3ac06bf432a4e5f/packages
 /block-library/src/paragraph/style.scss#L41-L43 paragraph block styles
 SCSS has had padding since 2018])

 Global style settings do not assign the class and only change the block's
 color. To make these consistent, the global styles would need to add
 padding to all paragraphs where the specially-colored blocks would appear.

 On the other hand, I do not consider applying a background color to the
 paragraph element very useful. That affects paragraphs in the header and
 footer, too.
