Agreed. I would like three color options:
1. Wallpaper wash like it is now.
2. Theme main color.
3. custom, user selected color.

I just read on Shuttleworth's blog about the new Dash color:
Rather than a flat darkening, we’re introducing a wash based on the desktop
colour. The dash thus adjusts to your preferred palette based on your
wallpaper. The same principle will drive some of the login experience –
choosing a user

Hopefully if this turns out to be the bad idea it initially sounds like, we
will be able to modify or disable this new wash and revert to flat
darkening, or even a custom Dash background color and text color.
