 Even after the admin colors were updated with the new ones in #31234,
 there are still some occurrences of the `#777777` grey. When used on a
 white background,
 [http://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/?fcolor=777777&bcolor=ffffff
 the resulting contrast ratio is... 4.48:1] :) Should be 4.5:1.
 Of course I'd agree it's a very subtle difference and the requirement is
 substantially respected but since there's the new `#72777c` grey
 available, why not just replace it?

 On darker backgrounds, like for example for the "about text" in the
 About/Credits/Freedoms screens and in the footer, it should be replaced
 with a darker grey.

 The login screen and the TinyMCE icons have their own tickets, I'd propose
 to make a patch to take care of all the other occurrences of `#777777`.
