As we now have a broadly agreed-on, WCAG compliant color palette M82, we should make use of it in Wikimedia Portal UI elements as well.

Align UI elements to improved WCAG compliant color palette
This was released into production on Oct 11, 2016 during morning SWAT - brightening up the text blue color (see this ticket).
Great progress! :)
But we're still missing the correct blue on the language icon from the language dropdown.
The language icon is part of the oojs icon repo (if you have it locally, it is "obviously" at src/themes/mediawiki/images/icons/ ):
I'd expect SVGs to be used (with png fallback) for the benefit of those with high resolution displays.
Just to be precise, we've got the language icon and the bookshelf in a different shade of blue. I don't even know where the bookshelf is in use right now.
@JGirault pointed me to the original bookshelf SVGs https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bookshelf-40x20.svg and https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bookshelf-40x20_blue.svg

(I also removed the bookshelf icon, but don't tell anyone... )
@Jdrewniak There's one more occasion of the old blue in _survey-banner.css. I don't get if it's still in use anymore – haven't we spoken about it getting removed anyways before?

Align remaining colors to color palette and update WMUI base variables

Align remaining colors to color palette and update WMUI base variables
In a further search, there has also been the CSS rgb( 52, 123, 255 ) notation of the old blue #347bff used (luckily just in the portal). Therefore we need to reopen this one more time.
