--- Comment #11 from Nate Graham <pointedst...@zoho.com> ---
Git commit 04dac01c2a3268f7f6189b2d5c404cb2b7aaf51f by Nathaniel Graham.
Committed on 06/11/2017 at 15:48.
Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'.

Very slightly increase text contrast for the default Breeze color scheme

Summary:

For active elements, use Shade Black instead of Charcoal Grey and Paper White
instead of Cardboard Grey. This slightly increases contrast and makes text
easier to read.

Test Plan:
Insufficient text contrast has been noted in reviews of Plasma, for example

Pure black has a few disadvantages, since some people find pure black on pure
white to be blinding. So I changed the gray text to a darker gray, but it's not
solid black, so there is still never a solid-black-on-pure-white situation.

Compare old vs new and look at the text and tooltips:

Before:
{F5456910}

After:
{F5456911}

Before:
{F5456920}

After:
{F5456922}

IMHO the second ones are clearer and less muddy, and therefore **easier** on
the eyes, not harder.
