D10 deprecations broke D7 ctools testing since sept 8th-14th 2022

Problem/Motivation

ctools tests broken by D10 deprecations, see this issue:
#3332391: The contrib color project is conflicting with the D7 core color project, breaking ctools 7.x tests and possibly others
evidence below:

• 
• ERROR MESSAGE
• ctools qa for 7.x-1.x-dev

https://www.drupal.org/pift-ci-job/2522397

I'm on a PHP 8.2 sprint right now, so far I've released a PHP 8.2 compatible version of i18n
AND patches for:
ctools
views
entity_translation

The ctools failures make no sense, they point to a missing requirement called drupal/color-color.

I smell smoke,

7x ctools project failing started somewhere between last known success september 7th and first known failure, september 14th, I suspect some change to the ci somewhere that affects projects where 7.x is not default branch and the default branch contains a composer.json with stability dev

The error also mentions dev requirement stability, which also makes no sense because ctools doesn't have a composer.json file unless somewhere the default branch is being processed before the test branch, which would make sense in the case of ctools why such a failure if some change related to this was put into place.

Somewhere there's a string for color being manipulated perhaps? there's no composer.json in the ctools 7.x-1.x project so I don't know why this error.

Steps to reproduce

Either run a patch against ctools, like my PHP 8.2 fix patch:
or trigger ctools pipeline any other way.
