Description
### Is this a regression?
- [X] Yes, this behavior used to work in the previous version
### The previous version in which this bug was not present was
14
### Description
After the angular material 15 update, the component text colors are no longer taken from the predefined foreground palette. In the past there was taken from the text and secondary-text variable.
Is there a new smart way to force the use of specific text-colors? Or is it not advisable to use your own font colors?
### Reproduction
https://stackblitz.com/run?file=src%2Fapp%2Ftable-basic-example.ts
### Expected Behavior
Its possible to use the foreground color palette to customize the text-color.
```scss
$theme-foreground-palette: (
base: color.$grey-700,
divider: color.$dividers,
dividers: color.$dividers,
disabled: color.$disabled-text,
disabled-button: color.$grey-400,
disabled-text: color.$disabled-text,
elevation: color.$grey-700,
hint-text: color.$disabled-text,
secondary-text: color.$secondary-text, // <-- was also used for mat-header-cells
icon: color.$primary-text,
icons: color.$primary-text,
text: color.$primary-text, // <-- was also used for mat-cells
slider-min: color.$grey-700,
slider-off: color.$grey-200,
slider-off-active: color.$grey-300,
);
```
### Actual Behavior
Some parts from the foreground palette will affect in the theme for the app. But in lists, tables or options there is always used the color `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)`.
### Environment
- Angular: 15.0.2
- CDK/Material: 15.0.1
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the linked StackBlitz reproduction, especially src/app/table-basic-example.ts, and compare its Angular Material 14 and 15 theme behavior. Trace how the foreground palette's text and secondary-text values reach table cells and headers; done means the configured palette controls those colors instead of rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87).
