 Description   

We've consolidated and partially redefined the colors for Magnolia 5. While the base colors remain the same, every base color now gains 6 additional shades.

The new color definitions can be found on the main page of the style guide:

http://wiki.magnolia-cms.com/display/UX/Style+guides+for+visual+design

The mapping to convert from old to new colors is here:

http://wiki.magnolia-cms.com/display/UX/Style+guides+for+visual+design#Styleguidesforvisualdesign-Fromoldtocurrentcolors

We will need some fine-tuning of some screens, but we're sure it works and will not only improve the look of all existing UIs, but also give us a lot more flexibility by offering more shades to e.g. make the lines around a form field stronger or less so, depending on what we want to achieve. That allows us to emphasize or de-emphasize some elements and lines. It also will make it easier to provide a slightly different appearance with significant higher contrast to users on-demand. It also fixes issues we've encountered (e.g. the piggy-colored light red shades) whenever we introduced new elements such as the alerts and notifications recently.

We should implement this as soon as possible so that we can fine-tune the results in all major interface parts.

some mappings have been changed twice, resulting in wrong colors

Comment by Christopher Zimmermann [ 10/May/13 ]

I realized that i messed up my stage1 commit because some colors got mapped a few times as i went down the list of color changes.
So.
I reverted all commits.
Then I redid the stage1 properly.
Then I cherrypicked the otther commits back on.

There could be a few small problems here and there. But the bulk is correct. Other problems can be fixed as they are found. I thought it was important to get this on master so that other people makiing changes with colors would not get clobbered later.
