Why orange? |

Its the color invert (inverted color) of the Dolphin blue logo. I think it gives the dark mode its own unique flare but, changing this back to the classic blue would be very easy and do-able if preferred! |

Definitely would be preferred. We use blue everywhere already, plus... bright orange on black is rather piercing imo. |

I went and reverted the color changes from orange to the original blue. I have attached some screenshots for reference. I haven't updated the pull request since the original blue in dark mode doesn't have the best color contrast and dark mode experience (imo). I will try to select a more "dark friendly" blue color scheme/theme that aligns to the original design. After which I will add more screenshots for reference and update the pull requests |

Notes:
Per the contributing instructions, the static and media file paths appear to be overwritten in Django. I'm not sure if this will occur but, I imagine it is possible that the added css and js href/script tag sources may be off in other people's environment. If so, let me know and I will take a look at fixing and providing screen shots so people can get an idea of what was changed
I am able to test css edits on dolphin pages hosted publicly (using chrome dev tools) but, was unable to test some locally due to database limitations/Django db connections that appear to be outside my control.
Thank you!
