Placeholder avatars are 'wrong' colour.

[ara4n]

Steps to reproduce

Placeholder avatars (i.e. those for rooms without explicit avatars) don't match the colours used by Element Web (presumably we're hashing the wrong thing, or using the wrong hashing function). Plus the actual shades of colours don't match Element Web.

Outcome

What did you expect?

No cognitive dissonance due to inconsistent colours between platforms.

What happened instead?

Extreme cognitive dissonance, similar to seeing the word RED but painted green.
