Bug Description

While the selected shades of orange and purple look good on the default wallpaper, and on other purple wallpapers, they don't look good on green, blue, etc wallpapers.

Proposed solution:

* Provide a mapping keyed on different color hues (red, orange, yellow, etc) that contains two sets of "highlight" colors for each hue:
  * 3 shades for the same hue
  * 3 shades of a different hue

* When the wallpaper for the welcome screen is set, find the "average" color like we do on the desktop, and best-match that to the hue keys in the map.
 * Of the 6 defined shades, remove the one that is closest to the wallpaper "average" in hue (this will avoid having a highlight that is too similar to the background)

* Use the remaining 5 hues, alternating, starting with one from the "different hue" set (the set with 3 remaining after dropping one)

Expected result:

On the default wallpaper, which has a purple "average" color, the infographics would have 3 shades of orange and 2 shades of purple.
