The file tagging colours should be from the elementary colour palette and not tango's.

To avoid confusion with highlighting during e.g. drag and drop and for consistency with the relevant plugin, the term "tagging" is used.
Tag colors are currently hard coded in gof-preferences.vala:
public const string TAGS_COLORS[10] = { null, "#fce94f", "#fcaf3e", "#997666", "#8ae234", "#729fcf", "#ad7fa8", "#ef2929", "#d3d7cf", "#888a85" };
If it's as simple as changing those hex values I could probably handle that. Or is this something where we should change how it works?
I went ahead and took a stab at it and got it working I'm just not entirely sure which "weight" of the colours we should go with. I chose 100 for most of them with the exception of silver and this is what it looks like:


@TraumaD that looks legit to me
