Improve color scheme, from continuous to discrete #23

We should use better colors. The issue is that we want to get the best color for each hour, we should avoid having a continuous curve, since we are not using. I would not actually use a continuous curve in the near future, that would be hard to make and not fully representative, to give you an example, early in the morning I would have so many change in colors, and we will see drastic changes.

We are not modelling the world. I would go for a set of color for each hour of the day.

Looks nice... As soon as I have a bit of time I'll have a look at this. Busy period and I'm leaving on 20th so need to prepare stuff but maybe I'll find the time ;)

ps: mindie is not working fine on desktop for me (chrome 36) but working fine on mobile (iphone 5s) with gyro

@framp that looks great! I would actually go for something like that or something like mindie, where colors are very strong and surreal. Unless we want to imitate the reality and do something like Apple Weather. Otherwise the thing you showed me is brilliant.
