 Hey,
 I went through the issue and the concerns raised about the hardcoded
 styles. One solution I can think of is adding a filter to make these
 styles easily disableable, something like:
 {{{#!php
 function wpmu_activate_stylesheet() {
     /**
      * Filters whether to output the default activation page styles.
      *
      * @param bool $load_styles Whether to load the default styles.
 Default true.
      */
     if ( ! apply_filters( 'wpmu_activate_stylesheet', true ) ) {
         return;
     }

     // existing styles here (with problematic colors removed)
 }
 }}}

 This will allow developers to easily disable the default styles with:

 {{{#!php
 add_filter( 'wpmu_activate_stylesheet', '__return_false' );
 }}}

 The same approach could be applied to `wpmu_signup_stylesheet()` in `wp-
 signup.php`.
 This addresses the immediate need for disabling these styles while
 maintaining backward compatibility. Developers who want custom styling can
 disable the defaults and provide their own, while sites that rely on the
 current behavior continue to work.

 Would this be a reasonable approach to move forward with?
