I agree with the black/yellow thing. European wasps (very dangerous) are this colour as are hazard signs (in Australia). May seem a trivial point to some, but as Rail mentioned, the subconscious will think ``danger - stay away'', so people may stay away from OO.o without necessarily understanding why. I'd vote for the (OO.o) dark blue and white personally. Dark Blue feels 'corporate' and professional. Colours are a science in themselves: have a look at good design rules for anything, and it's quite enlightening why (for example) three colours are picked for a design (eg logo, web site, flyer) in the proportion 60:30:10 and which colours invoke which emotional responses. Very interesting, and quite new to me. I was a web designer for ten years before realising why I designed like that.
