Change / reduce FlxColor presets

[Gama11]

Been discussed in #1113 and #1027, no conclusions yet though.

This issue over at flixel-community is relevant: FlixelCommunity/flixel#209

This was also discussed in FlixelCommunity/flixel#141

Unless anyone has any objections, it seems the colors we will be going with in AS3 Flixel will be taken from the colors found in MineCraft (it uses 16 colors which is a nice balance): White, Orange, Magenta, Light Blue, Yellow, Lime, Pink, Gray, Light Gray, Cyan, Purple, Blue, Brown, Green, Red, and Black.

That seems like a surprisingly good selection.

We would also need to keep FlxColor.TRANSPARENT.

I guess Flixel-based-games are going to look a lot like Minecraft from now on...

@IQAndreas: What are the actual hex values you plan on using? Obviously you wouldn't want 0xDDDDDD for white, for example (like that wiki page has).

Good point. IANAD*, but how does this look? http://jsfiddle.net/Vd2Y9/2/ (taken mostly from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors for consistency)

1. Green is not 0x00FF00; that color has been used for Lime.
2. Perhaps it's just me, but I personally see Cyan as very similar to Light Blue and had a hard time picking a shade, so I added an alternative version of the Light Blue color (which is a bit darker than what would be considered "light", but still lighter than pure Blue).

I only use WHITE, BLACK, and TRANSPARENT, IIRC, but this looks like a good range of colors.

http://clrs.cc/ also has a nice set of "modern" default colors
