Re: [libreoffice-design] [VI] Consistent theme for screenshots

To summarise, two objective points:
* Some of the colours suggested in this thread should print just fine in
grayscale by Lulu's printers.

* If users print directly from the PDFs, the colours use up a lot more
expensive ink or toner than does gray whether printed in colour or b/w.

And one subjective point:
* Some users will find that the colours make the screenshots look very
unlike what they see, and that may detract from their usefulness in some
cases. This is an untested hypothesis, other than some observation.

AFAIK, no one's answered this question yet: what is the advantage to
users of having colour in the screenshots in the PDFs?
