[Koha] New OPAC design

[Michael Sutherland]

Those colors are hideous.  Did anyone think at all about accessibility?
You can't even read the yellow lettering on white because of the lack of
contrast.  Perhaps this is a fine design for a younger audience (theme).
However, when considering a new design you should consider how individuals
with disabilities, such as color blindness, will be affected.  (Color
blindness affects approximately 1 in 12 *men* (8%) and 1 in 200 women in
the world.)

Unless the redesign is in jest.  If that's the case, carry on.
