1127517 - (fennec-colors-v1) [meta] Consolidate colors in resources with UX color palette

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Theme and Visual Design, defect)

Description

[Michael Comella (:mcomella) [NI reported issues only: ex-Mozilla]]

:antlam has a color palette for Fennec, so we should mirror that in our resources. Pros:
  * He can give us color names, rather than hex codes
  * We're less likely to duplicate existing colors
  * Cleaner color resources file
  * Can help us pinpoint inconsistent colors

Awaiting :antlam discussions w/ desktop UX and FE meeting discussions.

I started trying to use colors.xml whenever I saw duplicated hex values.

To avoid trying to fix the world at once, I think we should try to land a minimal color palette, and then we can always add new values/update values that currently exist in the tree as we go.

Yeah I'd like to get this moving too. Let's get some meeting time in person to get started on this week of the 16th (Feb)?

Attaching screenshot of color palette I currently use (probably not that useful but will remind me)

Note: we could also do this with Type! (?)
