Screen recording of how to reproduce the bug

SUMMARY
Unsetting background color in custom theme doesn't work

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create copy of existing theme (I used Atom One Light)
2. Go to Theme Editor tab
3. Go to Highlighting Text Styles tab
4. Unset the background color of an item (I tried to unset Alerts > Alert Level 1 (Sources/Rust))
5. It now shows 'unset' as the background color
6. Click apply, it changes to black #000000

OBSERVED RESULT
The background color changes to #000000 when saving.

EXPECTED RESULT
The background color to be unset.
