Description

It should be able to store the color better than what we currently do. We still need to preserve backwards compatibility, so we can first try loading it as Color.Resolved and if it fails, we can use the old way.

Color.Resolved is Codable, so we should use that for the serialization.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked Apple documentation for Color.resolve(in:) and Color.Resolved, then locate the existing Color serialization entry point in the Defaults repository. Confirm that decoding tries Color.Resolved first and retains the old fallback path for backwards compatibility; verify both formats can still be loaded.
