Bug Description

The Solarized homepage https://ethanschoonover.com/solarized/ defines exactly 1 mapping between its colors and the 0-15 indices, shown under the section "The Values". This mapping is implemented by Sakura as "Solarized dark".

The two pictures under the section "Usage & Development" also clarify that there isn't another mapping for the "light" variant, each color name and color index keeps the exact same RGB values. It's the application running inside the terminal emulator whose job is to pick different indices based on whether it wants to produce a "dark" or a "light" look.

As such, the existence of the "Solarized light" palette defining the 16 colors in a shuffled way is conceptually broken.

(If anything, what Sakura could do is to offer convenient means for picking "Solarized dark" and "Solarized light" for the _default_ foreground and background colors. Dark: bg=base03 fg=base0, light: bg=base3, fg=base00.)
