"Admin Color Scheme" label should be changed to "Dashboard Color Scheme"

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".

## Overview

This PR updates the label from Admin Color Scheme to Dashboard Color Scheme for better clarity and consistency across the WordPress admin interface.

@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.

@audrasjb Makes sense, thanks for the update.

Can you please have a look into the PR.

Replying to audrasjb:

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?

Yes good point, "Administration Color Scheme" works for me.

Hi @audrasjb, I have updated the PR and have changed the label to "Administration Color Scheme".

#9 @corazondejaguar

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?

In 60284:

Users: Update label from "Admin Color Scheme" to "Administration Color Scheme".

This prevents confusion between "Admin" as a user role and "Admin" when speaking about the dashboard itself.

Props ckoerner, audrasjb, debarghyabanerjee, SergeyBiryukov, corazondejaguar, pedrofigueroa1989.
Fixes #63048.
