This change removes the foreground color category setting to simplify the catego…ry creation and edit process for admins. Instead we determine the highest contrasting color (either white or black) based on the background color. Contrast algorithm is based on: https://www.w3.org/TR/AERT/#color-contrast We also implement the value transformer as part of this change, which allows overriding the category text color.
