What color should the resize handle be? #274

While testing https://github.com/phetsims/qa/issues/1100, I noticed that the resize handle is brassy on the Ideal Screen and gray (same color as lid handle) on the Explore Screen. I see that @arouinfar mentioned changing the color here, but it was never changed. @arouinfar which color did you want the resize handle to be?

See below for the design document specification for handle color. I've never been a fan of this. It's too subtle and even potentially confusing. For anyone who does notice the color difference, the color alone is incapable of communicating what's intended here. My vote would be to use the same handle color in all cases.

@arouinfar @Nancy-Salpepi and I decided in standup meeting to use the same handle color (grey) for both screens.

@Nancy-Salpepi please review, close if OK. Be sure to check in Color Editor, where the handle colors are resizeHandleColor and lidHandleColor.

Handle colors are now the same. Thanks!
