I propose using CSS variables for defining the colors used in the Django
administration panel.
This should make it possible to replace the colors used inside the Django
administration panel with a few lines of custom CSS and may also help with
the further maintenance of third party apps such as
https://github.com/fabiocaccamo/django-admin-interface/
The targeted browsers all support CSS variables, see
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/faq/admin/#what-browsers-are-
supported-for-using-the-admin and
https://caniuse.com/?search=css%20variables
This should also make it easier to reuse colors in third party apps.
Here's how this might look:

/admin-css-variables
(The final hunk in base.html would also belong into admin/css/base.css,
but I have added the code elsewhere for the moment because it makes it
easier to `sed` and `grep` my way through the changes.)
