I guess I agree that it’s more efficient to revert things if too many people complain.
I completely agree with you
No one said it was the end of the world. Most users will either not notice or like how novel it is. Which is fine. Many creatives will not like it. A toggle would have been awesome since Gnome’s direction has made theming temperamental at best (which I normally agree with).
It has pushed me to KDE for the time being (there is a neutral Breeze variant that easily fixes their tint) which I’m not stoked on but it should allow our lab to keep using linux on the computers we wish to. It’s surprisingly able to emulate Gnome’s workflow well enough.
What are you doing that you need all of your system to have “neutral” colours?
I myself didn’t like the neutral colors, but didn’t complain. I’ve learned more than 20 years ago to give GNOME designers the benefit of the doubt. If they change something, I go with it.

I mean if you don’t believe in neutral colors existing I’m not sure what you’re looking for me to tell you. They definitely exist, no quotes needed.
In case this is actually a good faith comment - our lab does a lot of print work and some color grading. Educational environment for students looking to make careers in design, photography, and film. All of which require fairly extensively controlled environments to be productive. Munsell paints, no windows, high end monitors that are calibrated several times a week, etc. ISO 3664 is the goal - closer is always better.
That doesn’t really answer the question though. I understand you need neutral colors, but why should the whole system be neutral? Can’t the students just use a neutral-colored app fullscreen? Even the wallpaper isn’t neutral, so I’m not sure why apps are a specific issue here.
