kristianwindandClaude Opus 5 8528b94c2d Drop WooCommerce's brand purple from the plugin icon ...

assets/icon.svg filled the badge, the envelope fold and the percent sign with
#7f54b3 — WooCommerce's own brand colour. Caught by the odin session during the
trademark review.

The point of taking "Woo" out of the plugin names was to stop implying an
official tie to Automattic. A mark that keeps their purple says visually
exactly what the rename stops saying, and a colour is harder to defend as
coincidence than a name. It is wrong independently of what the family palette
ends up being, so it does not wait for that decision.

#1a7a52 chosen to match the old colour's WEIGHT rather than merely to differ
from it: 5.32:1 on white against the purple's 5.50:1, so the white envelope and
badge keep the contrast the proportions were tuned for at 40px — the size
WordPress renders this at on Dashboard → Updates. Green also reads as savings.

The hex of the colour being avoided is written broken up in the comment
(7f-54-b3). A palette check across the five plugins would otherwise match this
explanation and report the icon as still carrying it — the same self-matching
trap the credential scan hit earlier today, when the rule flagged its own
documentation.

Not included, because it belongs to the rename and that is still Kristian's
decision: the aria-label still reads "WooCommerce Email Discount Manager",
which is the plugin's actual name today.
