revert #16163

#16163 was an attempt to reduce the cognitive load from the category icons in the inserter but we got some feedback that it makes it a bit harder to recognize block sources without these colors.

A11y wise, the loss of color contrast can affect the visibility of some icons;

While I'm open to this PR because the initial greyscale solution introduced a new problem, I also wanted to note that there's also a cognitive overload concern with this revert because the inclusion of colored icons draws visual attention when it may not be needed.

That said, if we found a way to make sure all icons were the same value of dark grey, that would be a better solution. I'm not entirely sure how to solve this technically right now so as mentioned this PR is probably a good way to go.
