[Cdash] coverage color palette

[Yngve Levinsen]

Looking at colorbrewer, chosing 3 colors, diverging and color blind safe, I
would say one of these three options:

http://colorbrewer2.org/index.php?type=diverging&scheme=PiYG&n=3
http://colorbrewer2.org/index.php?type=diverging&scheme=RdBu&n=3
http://colorbrewer2.org/index.php?type=diverging&scheme=RdYlBu&n=3

I'm a fan of doodling these kind of stuff.. So I try:

Cheers,
