Attempt to close #33339

Not sure if it has been forgotten to the sands of Rush-Hour-Before-Release, so escalating this to PR.

Also from the video alone, the text colour looks to change just a bit too early?

Proposal is identical to the way it behaves in Song carousel (Yellow text begins on 6.5*)

Or do you say that the current slider text should be white when the numb grays out ?

I'm not really sure how to feel about this black-on-gray visual:

Or this dark blue-purple colour:

I don't think it's a rule to match perfect black and have dark colours in the nub for hard difficulties, it sacrifices the harmony of the colours for the sake of perfect matching.

Furthermore, too dark difficulty colours may actually not work with new song select in general (see 10+ diffs below):

Perhaps it would give better overall visuals to change the end of the colour spectrum to output a gray colour instead? I think it's totally a path worth considering. @ppy/team-client thoughts?

my attempt at #36452: changes difficulty range slider in song select V2
to use the new star difficulty text gradient colors from #36292.

closes #36405

to match star rating more closely for sr <= 7.5 (where i don't think the
colors are so intense that they break harmony with the rest of the
design), i removed the Lighten by 0.4f on color update

also improved the transition from 7.9 to 8.0 which is quite abrupt in
the current version
