[PATCH 1/2] gitk: refresh the colour scheme

From
Andrej Shadura <andrew.shadura@collabora.co.uk>
Date

Message-ID
<20190226110535.29172-1-andrew.shadura@collabora.co.uk>

The colours gitk is currently using are from the basic 16 colour palette, and are a bit too intensive to be comfortable or pleasant to work with.

Adjust the main colours (commit nodes, remotes, tags and one branch colour) to be slightly softer.
