Include multiple color palettes

[squidfunk]

The theme is easily customizable through compilation but it would be nice if there were some more nice material design colors palettes included. Suggestions for good palettes are welcome, maybe one for every color.

MaterialUI.co have a nice Flat UI Colors palette. Her is a Gist in Scss and in Sass.
But of course you could tank in the whole palette of Bootstrap Material Design...

I know Materialui.co, really good resource. My point was more in the direction of good combinations of colors. However, thinking about it I came to realize that the best approach is to let the user decide. I will extend the Material theme to generate the right CSS for the 400- or 500-variant of every primary color in Google's Material Design palette and good matching accent colors, so the user can decide from the configuration file.

However, thanks for your feedback!

Sounds good! Your welcome.

This is great, can't wait to try it!

Nice work @squidfunk 👍

You should probably give an example how to use it, either on the
documentation-site or as an example mkdocs.yml, something like:

extra:
  # other config
  palette:
    primary: deep orange
    accent: light blue

My pleasure, trying to build the best and most flexible MkDocs theme. Still loads of work to do (refactor project drawer, optimize typography), but we're on the way with the great help of you guys. Thanks!

Best? Already. And most flexible MkDocs theme? Sounds good! 🍬
