The branded theme provider dropped every color override while the branding fetch was in flight, so each page load painted the default palette (pink spinner, pink ring) until the fetch returned, even when the injected meta or the cache already carried the node's colors. Overrides now apply whenever a value is known and stay absent only while it isn't.
