Code Review
This pull request correctly fixes an issue where IconButton.color was being overridden by IconButtonTheme. The change in button_style_button.dart adjusts the color resolution precedence to prioritize the widget's properties over the theme's properties, which aligns with the expected behavior. The new test case in icon_button_test.dart effectively validates this fix. I have one minor suggestion to improve the test's documentation.

is it possible to make widgetStyle.iconColor grab IconButton.color? That should help with the google failures.

Thanks for the suggestion, I updated the PR to restrict the code change to IconButton.
Let see how it goes with Google tests now 🤞

This seems will be a duplicate api with foregroundColor.

Should we just add documentation for ButtonStyle.iconColor? We can mention this is used for common buttons like Elevated, Filled, FilledTonal, Outlined, and Text buttons. For IconButton, use foregroundColor.

You mean discouraging users from doing the following?
iconButtonTheme: const IconButtonThemeData(
style: ButtonStyle(iconColor: WidgetStateColor.fromMap({WidgetState.any: Colors.purple})),
),It seems counterintuitive that iconColor does not apply to the icon color. Documentation will help but it would be more user friendly if iconColor applies to the IconButton icon.
Let me know if we go to the documentation only change or if we try to get the Google tests green.

You mean discouraging users from doing the following?
No, sorry for the confusion. I mean for IconButton.styleFrom method, we already have a foregroundColor, so I really think it's unnecessary to introduce another one. For ButtonStyle, you are definitely right:)! The icon color should respect ButtonStyle.iconColor.
The priority for these color-related properties are:
IconButton.style -> IconButton.color -> IconButtonTheme.style -> default style
This is my understanding for the issue. When IconButton.color is not null, its value is passed to adjustedStyle.foregroundColor in IconButton, and will merge with IconButton.style. So after the merge, this adjustedStyle will be passed to ButtonStyleButton.widgetStyle. But because in ButtonStyleButton, theme iconColor has higher priority then widget foregroundColor, so the issue happened. This priority order makes sense to common buttons but not for IconButton.
One solution I can think of is: after the merge in IconButton, if adjustedStyle.iconColor is still null, we should copy adjustedStyle.foregroundColor into adjustedStyle.iconColor. Like:
// This is the original implementation to merge styles
if (style != null) {
adjustedStyle = style!.merge(adjustedStyle);
}
// Add following
if (adjustedStyle.iconColor == null) {
adjustedStyle = adjustedStyle.copyWith(iconColor: adjustedStyle.foregroundColor);
}Sorry for the message wall! Currently this PR change will cause a problem, when we add both IconButton.style(foregroundColor: xxx) and IconButton.color, IconButton.style is not respected. Like:
IconButton(
style: IconButton.styleFrom(foregroundColor: Colors.blue),
onPressed: () {},
icon: const Icon(Icons.settings_outlined, size: 64),
color: Colors.green,
),

Many thanks for the clarification 🙏
I agree with your solution which relies on ButtonStyle.copyWith(iconColor. I did not realized that iconColor was a valid copyWith parameter, I started with IconButton.styleFrom which does not have the iconColor parameter (see #163126) and quickly jump to another way.
