Description

Chatrix currently uses the default [Hydrogen](https://github.com/vector-im/hydrogen-web) theme, which doesn't necessarily align with the design of the WordPress site, specifically in what concerns colors.

It would be useful to automatically (or semi-automatically, e.g. through the block inspector) be able to use the WordPress theme's colours as Chatrix's colors.

There's documentation on customizing Hydrogen's themes at https://github.com/vector-im/hydrogen-web/blob/master/doc/architecture/THEMING.md.

Research direction

Start with Hydrogen's doc/architecture/THEMING.md to understand the available theme color customization. Then inspect Chatrix's theme integration and WordPress block inspector entry points, which are not named in the issue. Done means Chatrix can use the WordPress theme's colors automatically or through the block inspector instead of relying only on the default Hydrogen theme.
