harmonized colors

[GoogleCodeExporter]

whenever we (need to) use custom/hardcoded colors, we should make sure they
look somewhat harmonious. Ideally, we should use the colors of the GTK
theme for better accessibility and conformance to the desktop, but in the
case where we need to hardcode stuff, we could use the attached tango
palette. If used on a white background, use the rightmost column (as it
contrasts better).

I am not sure if this is something that we could use.
It only gives the foreground of background from the standard theme for a window.

Maybe it is something that glade already does because it seems that my specto is
themed :)

So not for 0.3
