Use one shade darker blue for EXT2/3/4 file systems (!12) 

I see the MINIX file system as a kind of forerunner to EXT* because of
it's history [1].  No body uses the original EXT file system any more,
however the MINIX file system is still used by the MINIX 3 operating
system.  So use the same range of colours for MINIX and EXT2/3/4.  Use
one shade darker blue for EXT2/3/4, allowing MINIX to use the lightest
blue.  After adding MINIX support in the next patch, the colours will
become:
    MINIX - Blue Hilight
    EXT2  - Blue Medium
    EXT3  - Blue Dark
    EXT4  - Blue Shadow

[1] MINIX file system / History
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MINIX_file_system#History

    "When Linus Torvalds first started writing his Linux operating
    system kernel (1991), he was working on a machine running MINIX, and
    adopted its file system layout.  This soon proved problematic, since
    MINIX restricted filename lengths to fourteen characters (thirty in
    later versions), it limited partitions to 64 megabytes, and the file
    system was designed for teaching purposes, not performance.  The
    Extended file system (ext; April 1992) was developed to replace
    MINIX's, but it was only with the second version of this, ext2, that
    Linux obtained a commercial-grade file system.  As of 1994, the
    MINIX file system was "scarcely in use" among Linux users.
    "
