Re: [libreoffice-l10n] New(?) colors in UI svx

Hi :)
They sound like themes or collections of colours rather than individual
colours.  Kinda "dumbing things down" to make it easier for 'normal user'
to understand.

If you look at a "sunset" there is usual a huge range of different shades
of several different colours.  So i think the "sunset" theme is trying to
evoke the general feeling of a sunset by using a range of colours that you
might associate with sunsets.  I'd be expecting lots of reds, yellows,
maybe orange, purples.  With Brownie i'd expect earthy colours, like Ubuntu
themes - so there would be some overlap with sunset.  With clay i'd think
of greys tending towards earthy colours but none of the fiery colours.  I
think it's just to give 'normal users' an idea of what kind of colours to
expecting and to have an idea of what the designers were aiming for.

Regards from
Tom :)
