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.

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.
