Done Use Pokemon Home's color data instead of game-specific color data

[DaWoblefet]

Internally, Pokemon have a primary color value assigned to them. For example, Bulbasaur has a primary color of Green. This value can't be seen, so far as I know, in Pokemon Sword/Shield or Pokemon Scarlet/Violet. However, it can be seen in Pokemon Home by filtering in the Pokedex.

Sample: filtering by blue in my Home profile

Here's the catch: color data in Pokemon Scarlet/Violet or Sword/Shield is not always identical to Pokemon Home. For example, Dialga-Origin is classified internally as White in Scarlet/Violet, but as Blue in Home (see above screenshot). Same thing applies to Sneasler, who is Purple in Scarlet/Violet but Blue in Home. Unless there is in fact a way to search for colors in SwSh or SV or a feature where color matters, I think it makes more sense to use the Home colors as opposed to the specific game's colors, since that's the only practical way it can be referenced.

I have not done a full comparison from Home vs the individual games, but comparing Home data vs Showdown data (which is hopefully at least mostly accurate) I found the following differences.

Current Showdown color -> Home color

Dialga-Origin: White -> Blue
Morpeko-Hangry: Purple -> Yellow
Zarude: Black -> Green
Zarude-Dada: Black -> Green
Wyrdeer: White -> Gray
Sneasler: Purple -> Blue
Overqwil: Gray -> Black
Ceruledge: Blue -> Purple
Tatsugiri-Curly: Pink -> Red
Brute Bonnet: Gray -> White
Slither Wing: Red -> White
Iron Moth: Yellow -> White
Arctibax: Gray -> Blue
Baxcalibur: Gray -> Blue
Gimmighoul: Brown -> Red
Gimmighoul-Roaming: Blue -> Gray
Roaring Moon: Green -> Blue
Miraidon: Blue -> Purple

Since Pokemon Home and Scarlet/Violet have continued to update, the colors list between SV and Home is now much smaller. Now, only three differences remain (data courtesy of mattyoukhana):
Wyrdeer: White (SV) vs Gray (Home)
Sneasler: Purple (SV) vs Blue (Home)
Brute Bonnet: Gray (SV) vs White (Home)

Here is a newly updated list comparing Pokemon Home data vs Pokemon Showdown's:

Current Showdown color -> Home color

Dialga-Origin: White -> Blue
Wyrdeer: White -> Gray
Sneasler: Purple -> Blue
Overqwil: Gray -> Black
Ceruledge: Blue -> Purple
Tatsugiri-Curly: Red
Brute Bonnet: Gray -> White
Slither Wing: Red -> White
Iron Moth: Yellow -> White
Arctibax: Gray -> Blue
Baxcalibur: Gray -> Blue
Gimmighoul: Brown -> Red
Gimmighoul-Roaming: Blue -> Gray
Roaring Moon: Green -> Blue
Miraidon: Blue -> Purple
Ogerpon-Wellspring: Green -> Blue
Ogerpon-Wellspring-Tera: Green -> Blue

There's also a bunch of cosmetic forms that Showdown with different colors than their regular counterparts that Showdown doesn't support currently. Here's a list of those:

In my judgment, I think we should use the Home colors, so I will just administratively approve that now.
