Description
What kind of feature would you like to request?
Additional function parameters / changed functionality / changed defaults?
Please describe your wishes
As we all know, the color palette is a list stored in uns[f'{values_key}_colors']. I wonder if the color palette can be set to dictionary by default. This makes it easy to unify colors across different adata objects.

Research direction
Start by tracing how adata.uns[f'{values_key}_colors'] is written and read. Define how a dictionary palette would represent colors and remain compatible across different adata objects. Done means the default palette representation supports consistent color unification without breaking existing usage.
