Hi,

I created a Core Trac ticket as suggested, but it was closed as wontfix because the new default is intentional:

I understand that the WordPress admin will continue to evolve over time. My concern was mainly about existing users who never explicitly opted into a new admin color scheme suddenly seeing a significantly different visual style after a routine update.

Since this is considered intentional, I will handle it on my side for client-managed projects. From now on, I will add and recommend adding a small MU plugin or project-level rule to force the admin color scheme back to fresh where visual consistency and a more conservative dashboard experience are required.

That said, I still believe this kind of automatic visual change can affect perceived product stability and trust for non-technical clients, even when the change is technically intentional.
