[gnome-user-docs] Typo & comma fixes, also revert unclear color-whyimportant rewrite

commit 2af42edceb93684a7f67e6a2cfb6cb42c215b490
Author: Jeremy Bicha <jbicha ubuntu com>

    Typo & comma fixes, also revert unclear color-whyimportant rewrite
    
    The color-whyimportant final paragraph rewrite is more confusing
    than the original. I think the target audience just needs a short,
    simple explanation so I'm reverting.
