Issues with getEditorSettings to access theme default color or gradient palette

[simom]

Description

I'm trying to read the theme color palette in a custom block using the editorStore.
If there are no custom user colors, it returns the theme's default colors array (which is the expected behavior).
However, if the user defines a custom color, it only returns the user's custom color without including all the theme defaults.
Is this a bug, or is there another way to access this data?

In the with-colors.js component on Gutenberg there is a useSettings function, that appears to be private that read from:

'color.palette.custom',
'color.palette.theme',
'color.palette.default'

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

import { store as editorStore } from '@wordpress/editor';
const { getEditorSettings } = select(editorStore);
const colors = getEditorSettings().colors;

The useSettings is a new hook and will ship with WP 6.5. Meanwhile, you can use the useSetting hook, imported from the @wordpress/block-editor package.

thank you @Mamaduka for the information!

By the way, concerning the first question for the const colors = getEditorSettings().colors is it the expected behavior to return only the user custom color if defined?

@simom, IIRC, that's the correct behavior; those settings are coming from the server when the editor loads - https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/blob/6.4/src/wp-includes/block-editor.php#L555-L565.
