    As of Gutenberg 7.7, for this input:

    <!-- wp:paragraph {
    "placeholder":"Summary",
    "textColor":"accent",
    "backgroundColor":"secondary"
} -->
<p class="has-text-color has-background has-accent-color has-secondary-background-color">
This is a new paragraph.
</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

    the output of parse_blocks will be:

    Array
(
  [0] => Array
    (
      [blockName] => core/paragraph
      [attrs] => Array
        (
          [placeholder] => Summary
          [textColor] => accent
          [backgroundColor] => secondary
        )
      [innerBlocks] => Array()
      [innerHTML] => <p class="has-text-color has-background has-accent-color has-secondary-background-color">This is a new paragraph.</p>
      [innerContent] => Array
        (
          [0] => <p class="has-text-color has-background has-accent-color has-secondary-background-color">This is a new paragraph.</p>
        )
