 Thanks @fabiankaegy!


 Admin: Change default admin color scheme to 'modern' ✅ I am able to see
 the Default colour scheme to Modern now(compared with an existing WP
 Dashboard)

 Testing Notes:
 Verify new user accounts receive the "Modern" color scheme✅
 Verify users with other color schemes (Light, Blue, Midnight, etc.) are
 unaffected✅
 Verify "Default" scheme remains selectable in user profile✅


 Screens attached in Attachments section.
 Tested on Chrome 144 on WP Playground
