Comment (by johnbillion):

 Sorry but this implementation falls quite short of what I would expect it
 to.

 - Why is a server-side HTTP request being performed on every front end
 page load to fetch the CSS file? Can the file not be loaded from the
 filesystem?
 - Pulling out a substring from the stylesheet seems fragile.

 I appreciate that we're trying to squeeze this into 7.0 but there are Sass
 files with the source colours for each colour scheme available in `wp-
 admin/css/colors` and a `colors` task in Gruntfile.js to generate the
 stylesheets.

 Can the task be updated to generate a separate stylesheet that just
 overrides the necessary admin bar colours with those from each colour
 scheme?
