Title: :lipstick: Abstract tones (base0, etc.) into syntax variables

Solarized creator Ethan Schoonover explains

Switching between dark and light modes should be a matter of redefining a handful of base tones, ideally in a single stylesheet.

I've abstracted all direct references to the base tones into syntax variables, With this change, it should be extremely simple to maintain both dark and light modes in parity.
