Some of the colors that have been chosen are quite difficult to work
with design-wise, especially the flourescent greens.

I couldn't resist the topic of colors and icons. Mirek's post
regarding the Elementary (MS)office mimetypes is spot on - they really
are fantastic and they make great use of color (which, as we know from
past experience, is important :)) [1]. So, I tried creating something
along those lines with the current LibreOffice colors and the results
are far too saturated [2]. Desaturating and darkening the colors might
help a little (see the second set of icons), but I still think better
colors could be chosen. Of course, the design itself needs more work,
but I think the main idea is there :)

Regards,
Ivan.
