Color combo

[effa]

Choose and consistently use a beautiful color combo throughout the application. Also use a brighter colors in Blockly. Blockly colors should be at least close to the application color combo, should not use too many colors and should be consistent (e.g. the same color for all maze commands, the same color for all program flow commands etc.). Blockly enforces the same level of value and saturation of all colors, but these two constant can be changed e.g. to brighter (https://developers.google.com/blockly/custom-blocks/defining-blocks#setcolour).

What should we do with bootstrap theme? The new colour combo should make its way to bootstrap as well, shouldn't it. Why don't we start with default bootstrap colour scheme. I find is quite nice and simple.

Sadly, Bootstrap colours have quite different saturation and value values. That means we cannot use them.

We can also consider viridis colormap (https://bids.github.io/colormap/), which should be better at least for the most common type of colorblindness (red-green).
