[PATCH] Change the dark theme color from blue/white to orange/warm Export this patch

A friend and I were talking about writefreesoftware.org and we both agreed the
site felt striking or required effort to read. The hard contrast of the dark
theme feels very strong and bold. Which IMO isn't the best feel for the goal of
attempting to welcome new coders and convince them to "join" free software.
Softening the bright white text to a pastel, and the default theme from a cold 
blue to a warm orange makes it not only easier to read, but gives it a much more
welcoming feel. I linked some sample images below, but haven't changed the color
on the SVG because I didn't know how, wasn't convinced they *should* be change
and was afraid to invest the time if no one else agreed in softening the colors.
