Unless Adwaita was built around the colors of the classic theme in 
gtksourceview, this is not the case. The "classic.xml" colour theme 
predates GTK3 -- the colour pallette has been the same since before 
gtksourceview 2.91 was released [1], [2].

The solarized palette is a lot softer, and complements the adwaita theme 
much better than the default classic theme. Here are some screenshots 
comparing the two styles [3], [4].
