Actually, using the theme color there is probably wrong, since if we are
going to hardcode the colors then there is a chance the theme uses a
text color that isn't contrasty enough.

So it should probably just use black instead, for all colorized items.

(Otherwise, I am all for making the colors themable, if possible...)

Yeah, the color set must be a good compromise.  Maybe it's easier if we
stick to only 5 colors or so?
