Theme's color palette no longer returned via Block Editor settings

[lukecarbis]

Description

wp.data.select( 'core/block-editor' ).getSettings().colors no longer returns theme colors.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Disable Gutenberg
2. Enable a theme with a colour palette (like Twenty Twenty-One)
3. Open the Editor
4. Run this in the console: wp.data.select( 'core/block-editor' ).getSettings().colors

At this point, note the colours – they're the colours that your theme has defined.

5. Enable Gutenberg
6. Open the Editor
7. Run the same command in the console again

Notice that the colours returned are NOT the theme colours, but default Editor colours

Expected behaviour

The Block Editor "colors" setting would return the color palette defined by the theme.

Actual behaviour

The Block Editor "colors" setting returns an array of default WordPress colours.

WordPress information

• WordPress version: 5.7.2
• Gutenberg version: 10.6.1
• Are all plugins except Gutenberg deactivated? Yes
• Are you using a default theme (e.g. Twenty Twenty-One)? Yes

Device information

• Device: MacBook Pro
• Operating system: MacOS 11.3
• Browser: Safari 14.1

Context: My block relies on access to the theme's default colour scheme. If this is an intentional breaking change, I'd love if someone could help with a way to get the theme's default colours.

@nosolosw Did we include a shim for these in the Core patch?

[oandregal]

Yeah, in core and Gutenberg 10.7 the settings.color has the color palette.

Note, however, that since we landed #31669 the color palette includes both theme and core colors. Jorge has prepared a PR #32225 that will make the palette to only contain the theme colors. I've marked that PR as "fixing this issue".

There's an alternative to #32225 at #32358

This has been fixed by #32358
