New weather icons added in #5065 are "samey" and hard to distinguish from each other

    • 2.375

      w/r/t https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/5065

      I appreciate all of the new icons, but the new weather icons are significantly more difficult to differentiate at a glance than the old weather icons, since they're all the same color.  Apart from fixing all of our builds (who's got time for that), would it be possible to add some color variation (preferred), or at least have an option to re-enable the old icons?  Maybe make the sun yellow again and the clouds light gray?

      Example:

          Crude mock with screenshot + bucket fill.

          The "changelog weather" on https://www.jenkins.io/changelog/ and https://www.jenkins.io/changelog-stable/ should similarly be updated with different colors once it's done in core.

          And the rain remains blue. A shade darker on the yellow (golden?) ? Keep in mind, grey cloud might want light grey for dark theme and dark grey for light theme.

          Maybe it would be helpful to discuss this topic in the next Jenkins UX meeting? Before changing colors of icons we should discuss in general how we want to design icons in other places as well (monochrome icons, multi color icons, etc.).
