Description

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/color/resolve(in:) https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/color/resolved

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.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current serialization code for Color in Defaults. Implement a fallback: first try decoding as Color.Resolved (which is Codable), and if that fails, use the existing method. Ensure backward compatibility.
