Yes, the new ones are pretty, but they're pretty to my non-color blind eyes. Look at that in light of about 1 in 10 males being color blind and... d'oh
Which is why I suggest staying with GNOME HIG color palette
Actually... that has a lot less to do with the current issues.
It's not so much a matter of colors, but rather of drawing in such a way that shape and value convey the most information and the color is just incidental.
Even with the Gnome HIG palette, one can easily get colors that hit our current situation, such as 'Blue Highlight' and 'Green Highlight'. Remember, their palette is intentionally subdued, and that it is intended that artists lighten or darken colors from it as needed. (Also, the colors in question here are almost Gnome's "Basic 3D Medium" and "Blue Medium").
