Good question.
It might be good to add Tango colors to the palette if we start using them
for defaults, but I'd be wary of removing any colors before going through
with color handling [1], simply for compatibility reasons (users would
wonder where the color they were using for shapes went, and would have no
idea how to bring it back).

But again, I don't think we can remove the ones we have just yet.

The lightest Tango Sky Blue, perhaps?
