Okay.  What I want is to preserve the GPL.

In this case, "just their colors" means to publish a page on my website
like protesilaos.com/modus-themes-colors that contains a table like the
following and which states it is distributed under CC0:

| name              | value   |
|-------------------+---------|
| bg-main           | #ffffff |
| fg-main           | #000000 |
| red               | #a60000 |
| magenta-alt-other | #5317ac |

[ All values will be taken from the variables
  modus-themes-operandi-colors, modus-themes-vivendi-colors. ]
