After Upgrading to 7 the admin panel colors changed to purple

After Upgrading to 7 the admin panel colors changed to purple. Is there a way to fix it. I disabled all my plugins and that didn't help.

Hi, are you using a standard theme (twenty XY)? If so, do you have a screenshot for us? And could you open the browser console to check where the color is coming from, so we have a better chance to reproduce? Thank you.

I'm using a theme for a directory from Appthemes. Here's the color in the browser inspector:

--wp-admin-theme-color

#3858e9
: #3858e9;

--wp-admin-theme-color--rgb: 56, 88, 233;
--wp-admin-theme-color-darker-10: #2145e6;

Here is a screenshot of the purple color. it's the text and more and surrounding the text in the circle in the menu.

It also happens on another theme (WordPress 2017)

It has changed the admin default color scheme to the one pictured in the screenshot and I'm not sure how to change it back. What is the default wordpress color scheme for admin users? Fresh? Coffee?

Thank you, @jason_hayes, for the ticket. WordPress 7.0 introduced a change to the default color scheme (fresh) to modern. See #64546.

If you would like the 6.9 color scheme, change it from default(modern) to fresh.

Is that for both admin and users?
Is there a way to change the default to fresh in the database so it's the default again for my clients?

Replying to jason_hayes:

No, this will only apply to the current user it is set in; in your case, it will be the Admin. All other users will have the default color scheme or the one they have selected.

I am not aware of a way to set the default color to fresh in the database, but you could try this plugin, which will get you the result you want: ​http://wordpress.org/plugins/default-admin-color-scheme/.

From their plugin page:

"Select a default admin color scheme for new and existing users. Optionally disable the color scheme picker to force a color scheme for all users."

So we have no bug here, right?
