mat-selection-list defaults to accent color and cannot be set to primary

[Admiralfeb]

What is the expected behavior?

I should be able to control the color of the checkboxes of the mat-selection-list

What is the current behavior?

The color is set to accent only and does not permit me to change it via a color property. The documentation does not state that the color is set to accent

What are the steps to reproduce?

Provided stackblitz shows the issue.

When this will be released?
There were 3 releases since 22 Feb (merge date) :)

BTW
this option is metioned in doc: https://material.angular.io/components/list/api#MatListOption
but there is nothing in the code in branch: 7.3.x (I asume this is release branch :) )

There is still a problem here. If the parent component has mat-primary class set (like mat-tab-group does by default), then changing color to accent on mat-selection-list or mat-list-option has no effect, since mat-accent is never explicitly set as only primary and warn values are checked:

    ...
    '[class.mat-primary]': 'color === "primary"',
    '[class.mat-warn]': 'color === "warn"',
    ...
