It is unclear how to style new elements in Harvest

[Dylan McCall]

We should use a CSS preprocessor that lets us assign commonly used properties specific variable names (which would give style.css nice self-documenting properties) or create a document that specifies some design guidelines including text styles used in Harvest.

For now, as a general idea, full black text colour is reserved for the most important bit of a page; the packages (which people click on) and their respective opportunities, for example.

The following are fairly well defined:

Important stuff: rgb(0, 0, 0) (#000000)
Regular text: rgb(51, 51, 51) (#333333)
Page titles and related metadata (like “X hidden opportunities”): rgb(80, 80, 80) (#505050)
Temporary hints (input placeholder text and results-messages): rgb(120, 120, 120) (#787878)
Extra stuff like the copyright note: rgb(180, 180, 180) (#B4B4B4)

Whether the current design is a good idea or not is for another discussion :)
