if no colour scheme is provided with the svg theme, the system colours are 
used. we don't touch the svg's themselves, however.

that's a bit like saying, "you can paint any painting you want, as long as you 
use a palette knife and cerulean blue to do it." even leonardo davinci 
himself wouldn't have managed the mona lisa under those conditions.

"exactly like" doesn't follow from "but your svg's are going to be tinted".
