Description
When editing my user profile at wp-admin/profile.php there is a label titled "Admin Color Scheme". This is confusing as "Admin" or "Administrator" is also a WordPress user role. A person could have the user role of "Editor" but see this label and be confused as they are not an "Admin".
A better label given that documentation calls it the "Dashboard" would be to call this "Dashboard Color Scheme".

@audrasjb, I wonder if only changing the label would be enough, there is a filter named admin_color_scheme_picker, won't that be a bit confusing? If we are showing the label as Dashboard Color Scheme and retaining the function name and filter name as admin_color_scheme_picker.
Keeping the Label Update PR raised for now, let's discuss further on this.
Please let me know your thoughts on this?

I think changing the label is enough. Changing function names would be risky in term of backwards compatibility.

Replying to audrasjb:
I fully agree with you. This may also be better for translation.
Hmm, Dashboard does not seem quite accurate here, as the color scheme is for all of the administration screens, not just the Dashboard screen.
Maybe "Administration Color Scheme" would be more appropriate?

I agree with this change, from the UI Copy perspective, as it matches documentation, and the behavior is intuitive enough for users to understand functionality 👍🏻

Thanks for the review.
In the related PR we discussed to update a docblock as a follow-up to this change.
A new PR (or an update of the existing one) would be most welcome :)

This is a bit picky, but the PR title and description still mention Dashboard instead of Administration.
Can we change it to keep everything consistent?

Perfect, thanks for the update.
@mardelnet no strong need to update the PR title/desc, I'll commit this today anyway :)
