grey themes. And I actually like the proposed "baby poop brown" :D.

Yeah, it's not baby poop, it's amber :-)

We could change the colors this way (had to try the color highlighting on github myself ;-):
1. `#0085ff` (`#0000d0` before): `geany-compiler-message`
2. `#00ba34` (`#007f00` before): `geany-document-status-readonly`
3. `#f98600` (`#7f0000` before): `geany-compiler-context`, `geany-document-status-disk-changed`
4. `#e92c2c` (`#ff0000` before): `geany-compiler-error`, `geany-terminal-dirty`, `geany-document-status-changed`

Some comments:
The biggest change are the colors for (1) and (3). The original green `geany-document-status-readonly` has slightly worse legibility in dark themes but it's not that tragic. The red is nearly identical. But I would change these colors too for more unified appearance.

The original color `#ff7f00` for `geany-document-status-disk-changed` is nearly identical to the new infamous baby poop color `#f98600` so we could use the new one.

I would keep the pink `#ff6666` for `geany-search-entry-no-match` - I think it visually matches the new colors nicely and since it's a background color with white text, it has the same legibility in all themes (the selection color `geany-search-entry-no-match selection` `#771111` is more or less in the "who cares" category and can stay this way too).
