Description

In the original tracking issue from Matias (#29568) it was outlined that

Of course, it still needs to be possible to fully disable the default palette since sites that have stricter branding guidelines might prefer to remove it entirely, the same way the custom colors interface can be disabled, but it should not be the default behaviour that a theme palette overwrites the color palette.

Looking at the implementation now that does not seem to be the case.

This is a big problem for custom builds with strict design systems where the litigation to certain brand colors is a very important need that is no longer met without the ability to remove / override that "Core" palette.

I do understand and agree that the default behavior should be having both paletes. But like @mtias mentioned initially then this was proposed themes should be able to override / remove that.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

There are no steps to reproduce as there is no API to remove the Core palette.
