Feature: Custom color-branded navbar #110

Extends #39

I started work on this but stumbled into some problems, some can be resolved others have some further impact.

Resolved: Automatically choose the right font-color depending on the contrast, etc.

Needs discussion: The navbar background color might interfere with the brandcolor therefore the navigation highlighting of the currently active tab and the edit button might not be visible good enough. I am not sure anymore how much this setting can be generalized in a meaningful way.

Hi @Menrath,

many thanks for creating this issue.

I understand that you have implemented something which allows the admin to pick a navbar background color and adapts the navbar font color automatically, is that right?

Please have a look at #224 where I have just submitted a PR which allows the admin to at least select the brand color as navbar background color.

I could well imagine to see this functionality extended by a "Custom" admin setting value which will reveal a color picker for the navbar background color and navbar font color. While it may be technically interesting, I do not see a real need to let Moodle select the font color automatically.

If you would like to further work towards custom navbar colors, I would appreciate of you could build on the functionality of #224 as soon as this PR is landed.
