[Bug 1482493] [NEW] Accent colour in Raw theme is too low contrast

 

Public bug reported:

The new Bootstrap-based Raw theme is mostly pretty good in terms of
accessibility, but the bright green accent colour used on buttons and
links isn't high enough contrast to meet WCAG 2 guidelines. According to
http://leaverou.github.io/contrast-ratio/ the contrast ratio between the
#629600 highlight and the white background (or foreground) is 3.6 where
it needs to be at least 4.5. Since the Raw theme will probably be the
basis for a lot of custom themes, it's quite important that this is made
more contrasting.

Affects latest master
