Proposed contribution to increase read only legibility

Hi all,

Prompted by UC Berkeley's Botanical Garden deployment, we've been looking
at the colors used on read-only fields and for users with read-only
permissions. Currently, users are finding that read-only fields aren't
particularly readable due to a dark background on the fields and low
contrast between the background color and text color, as you can see in the
attached readonly-original.png screenshot.

With the support of the PAHMA, UCJEPS, and botgarden users of
CollectionSpace, we'd like to propose a contribution to change the
background and text colors to those in the attached readonly-proposed.png
screenshot. You can view what read only fields look like next to active
fields in readonly-fieldlevel.png. The necessary changes to the CSS can be
seen in this commit:
https://github.com/cspace-deployment/ui/commit/a7ed15c23283d25c18bc233b4af6a8c27dfb1a7fin
the botanical garden's tenant CSS files.

Any feedback on this change is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
Amy
