Warm the awake timer text off pure white

Pure white belonged to no colour in the app; the timers it painted read as
uncoloured rather than as the sunshine end of the pair. #fdf4da is white with a
sixth of the gold mixed in — warm enough to be recognisably the same family as
the pill it sits on, pale enough that it is nothing like --wake-ink, which is
where "yellow text on a yellow pill" came from.

11.83:1 on the pill and 12.36 on the card, so the legibility that white bought
is intact. The light theme is untouched: anything this pale on a cream pill
would be gone.

The changelog entry from the previous commit is amended rather than followed by
one of its own — it has not shipped, and "white" was only ever a description of
this same line of the stylesheet.
