[Bf-committers] color scheme for 2.5

[Goat Man]

This is really an important issue that shouldn't be rushed just because some
folks are doing screenshots now.  Some of the users are like me, over 30
years old, with not the greatest eyesight or largest monitor.  Why don't we
use some color contrast to 'pop' some of things things out, ie. orange on
blue, yellow on purple.
