(Whiteboard: [design-decision-needed])

Currently, contextualidentity colors are hardcoded in Firefox and use the same color values across all themes. In many cases, the hardcoded colors are difficult to see with the colors used by theme for the tabs and tabbar background.

To solve this, we could expose the default set of colors to themes as a key in manifest.json. This way themes could ship a custom set of colors that fits with their colorscheme.

Also, we currently use names like "blue", "green", etc but if we expose them to themes, this names may not make sense. A solution would be to rename them as color[1-8] while having a solution to be backward compatible.
