Make color0 distinct from background/foreground and fix helix theme (#5538)

Browse Source 
* Make color0 distinct from background/foreground

The majority of themes have color0 available as a subtle offset from
the background. For flexoki-light, because color0 matched foreground, it
wasn't subtle, and would cause invisible text when used as a background
color (e.g., in text editor rulers). For vantablack, ethereal,
hackerman, and white, color0 matched background and would cause
invisible text when a theme wanted text to be de-emphasized.

This patch makes it consistently a subtle offset from background.

* Make helix selection theme colors more subtle

Helix is more usable if the selection background is subtle. This is
primarily because of [[1]], which makes a bright selection like we had
before often make the foreground text unreadable in the picker preview.
