Comment:

 I really like the new admin colour schemes, but please can the colours be
 defined as CSS variables for those of us who develop UIs in WordPress
 admin?

 The introduction of e.g. `--wp-admin-theme-color` has been a fantastic
 time-saver but keeping track of new hard-coded colour schemes on a per-
 WordPress-version basis is time-consuming and avoidable.
