Comment:

 I am 100% behind this change. Reality check:

 * In practice, you are not going to see large swaths of the altered colors
 side by side, and it's incredibly unlikely anybody is going to actively
 notice this. I think this is a good, definitive place to land backed by
 reasoning and a goal of cohesion. Some themes/plugins will need to adjust,
 so we should probably announce that somewhere (on top of the documentation
 in progress).
 * Most people are not on beautiful, calibrated monitors. I can see the
 difference clearly on one monitor, and not at all on another. Right now,
 the colors are changing again because I use f.lux. That's the real world.
 * On top of that, everybody sees/processes color differently. I think the
 contrast is ever so slightly better after for the most part, but I also
 know that that is fairly specific to me.
 * That Safari thing has ruined my day more than once. I think Firefox
 respects color management too, or at least is capable of it. Last time I
 checked, we can't do anything about it except in image files.

 Let us not fall into the trap of the thing that is closest to literally
 painting a bikeshed. Designers approve, it was explored in the context of
 documenting our overall design language, and it's small. I could use a
 second eye in reviewing the patch and its effects, though :)
