        + https://bug-attachments.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=116355
        + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards/5.0_Branding#Contributions_submitted_so_far
        + consensus: let's go ahead with these colors
AI  + update the colors & notify the Visual Identity group (Kendy)
 
    + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards/5.0_Branding
        + still not decided
 
* Hicontrast icon theme (Andreas)
 
    + IIRC it depends on the system settings (Kendy)
    + the ideas for Sifr was to change the color programatically (Jay)
        + installation size (Kendy)
        + not the primary problem; synchronization with the ligth theme is more concerning (Andreas)
        + when does it happen? (Andreas)
            + when we find a hacker - happy to give the code pointers... (Kendy)
            + but cannot promise it myself ATM :-( (Kendy)
 
    + Breeze-dark
        + https://github.com/NitruxSA/plasma-next-icons/tree/master/LibreOffice_Breeze
            + has a script to generate the dark variant
        + possibilities:
            + have it in the repo, but not build by default
            + build it too
            + kill hicontrast icon theme, and instead use breeze-dark
            + find somebody to code the color changing on the fly
        + will ask in the ESC if the non-coding possibilities are acceptable before
          we have the code (Kendy)
