Admin color scheme: update the highlight color in the Modern color scheme

[fushar]

In the Modern color scheme, the font color on hover in the admin bar is bright green. However, in the WordPress.org site itself, the color used is Blueberry 2.

I am proposing to update the Modern scheme to reflect what's being used in the WordPress.org site.

Added a patch.

Just realized I cannot edit the ticket description, so I'm adding additional context as a comment here.

The Modern theme was first introduced in https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/50504 by @joen, @youknowriad et al. The newly redesigned WordPress.org website seems to have adopted this color scheme. However, this theme currently has this bright green hover color which looks out of place. It has different hover color from what WordPress.org is using, which looks more natural.

I am proposing to match that color and update the Modern color scheme itself accordingly.

You're right that green seems out of place. Thanks for proposing a patch.

cc @joen @jameskoster just to confirm that the change here looks good for you all.

Seems fine to me. In general I can see further refinements to the Modern color scheme; the new Blueberry color matches the default wp.org website accent color, and the vibrancy of the blue offers high contrast in especially light contexts. Per the wp.org reference, however, can you make sure the light blue is #7B90FF, which is the same light blue used on wp.org?

Thanks all. I cross-checked the color; see the following screenshot:

Admin Color Scheme: Update the highlight color in the Modern color scheme.

In the Modern color scheme, the font color on hover in the admin bar is bright green. However, in the WordPress.org site itself, the color used is Blueberry 2. This commits aligns both colors on the more balanced Blueberry color.

Props fushar, Joen.
Fixes #62219.
