Tested Hex Values for Improved Readibility of Text and Improved Contrast

SUMMARY
***
Default text, and its background thoughout the system, has much too low contrast to be easily readable, which leads quickly to eyes strain and its hard to read.
***

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open any window where there is a text, Application Launcher, Dolphin,...

OBSERVED RESULT
1. Text has way too low contrast and its much too washed out - the so called "grey font on grey background" look.

EXPECTED RESULT
Correct font and background hex values for more pleasent look and readibility troughout the system.

Examples of long time tested hex values (perfect engouh - not too washed-out, but not too contrasty):

view text: #090a0a
window text: #090a0a
button text: #090a0a

tooltip background: #232627
tooltip text: #fcfcfc

active titlebar: #31363c
active titlebar text:#ffffff
