Comment (by wildworks):

 @khokansardar Thanks for working on this. However, as noted in
 [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/67094eec602b813723a5f96c66c6169cf559477b/src/wp-
 includes/build/pages/font-library/page-wp-admin.php#L5 this comment], we
 cannot directly modify this file. The fix needs to be made upstream, in
 Gutenberg.

 The color changes should be approached with caution as they are closely
 related to the new design system.

 > Now I see full white again, which is against any usability, UX, and
 accessibility best practice I'm aware of. It's a well-known design
 principle:

 In the latest version of Gutenberg, `'--wpds-color-bg-surface-neutral':
 '#fcfcfc'` is defined as a design token and is used for the page
 background color. I believe we first need to discuss whether this color
 should be permitted, considering accessibility and the discussion at
 #62831.
