As suggested in feedback, many 'dark theme apps' choose some neutral dark grey-ish color, we went deep deep black. Maybe we should dial this back a bit.
If we do this we should revisit the dark devtools theme colors at the same time to be consistent

A slightly crazier idea would be to provide a set of 3-5 color palettes that style the entire dev edition theme, ranging from the current 'black metal' through charcoal-ish and lighter themes to the current light theme. In my dreams, this would be controlled by a short list of css variables. Might actually be pretty complicated tho.

Of course that would have to also change the devtools toolbox at the same time :).  Would definitely have to wait for bug 947242 to implement said crazy idea.
