The way how color palettes are handled for block-level edits in styles

[codeeater]

Hi!

I'm dealing with an ongoing issue about how Gutenberg handles custom color palettes (global) and additional edits on block level. Not sure if this is a bug or feature or in between and I'm looking for other experiences / thoughts on the topic.

(There's a related github issue here: #51124)

My problem in short:

• tweaked some styles settings (not colors, not fonts - just spacing) on block level (e.g. for Group or Post Title)
• it's not visible in the UI, but it seems that what ever CSS variables were set at this point in time (colors, font families) are now stored and fixed to the block classes
• now, after that, I do changes to the global color palette (e.g. change primary color)
  => old values of preset colors are still attached (and written to inline CSS) for the block elements with changes
  => I can't reset colors on the block elements (remember: I didn't even pick custom colors in the picker); this was a feature in an old 15.x version of Gutenberg, but now it's gone - leaving me with no way to get rid of the onwanted presets on the block classes

How can I deal with this?
