I have uploaded a second (high resolution) draft showing a possible
color scheme [1]. The current LibreOffice green is the same. My
suggestion is to have one 'off' color for each set to add some flavor.
So, for green, there's lime, for blue it's something light headed
toward aqua, for maroon it's pink... whether it works or not is for
you all to decide :)

The Impress mimetype symbol needs consideration (you had a rounded
rectangle), as well as what to with detail when the icons get larger
(more detail would be nice, and that's the case with the new OOo
mimetype icons... but I don't have the time to work on it now). The
symbols are an important part in the icon design and probably another
discussion in themselves.

I agree, I just thought it was interesting :)
