Bug Description

light-themes 0.1.8.22, Ubuntu Ocelot

1. Launch Terminal, or Ubuntu Software Center, or Aisleriot Solitaire.
2. Open the help from the Help menu.

What you see: Orange links on a blue background.

I mean, using bright orange in an OS theme is bad enough, but ... orange on blue? Really?

What you should see: Neutral colors.

The orange is part of Ambiance, and I think the blue is hard-coded into yelp.

That doen't make it invalid. It looks ugly. And then Yelp souldn't hardcode colors.

The Ambiance GTK link color is orange.

Yelp's blue is sort of hard-coded but it adapts to the brightness of the GTK theme so that it still looks ok with High & Low Contrast themes. It's not really clear that any other color would actually be better than the blue.
