[PATCH 13/13] gitk: change the default colors for remote-tracking references

Instead of coloring the reference name part of remote-tracking references the same bright green as used for local branches, change it to a subtler brown. Change the remote name color to go better with the brown.

I chose these colors because
* Remote-tracking references are less important than local branches, so
  it is appropriate that their coloring be subtler.
* Brown isn't used elsewhere.
