Comment:

 To be more precise, the theme **preset** colors do not work in the widget
 areas. For example, any Button blocks with a Light Gray or Blue background
 color would fall back to the classic themes'
 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/b81e48110c229de21e68b7d6d300abaf6f84bccf/packages
 /block-library/src/classic.scss#L4 dark gray color].

 I edited the set of blocks and saved it as a text file.
 - All the Code and Buttons blocks are inside a Group block because widgets
 have significant space between each other.
 - The 'new link' reference points to `new.example.com` so it does not show
 the `:visited` style if you accidentally click it.
 - It does not include the options of the default text color against a dark
 background color because the theme defines a light background, and people
 who want a dark background should set their own text color.
 - The set still does not include gradients, but feel free to experiment
 with those.
