Ben, are there any offline collateral or other materials you can reference? Maybe a brochure or something to help you understand how the bright colors could be utilized.
I tend to agree with your approach towards employing a more conservative palette. Bold colors can be tricky to work with. You might consider looking at some examples from this site [http://www.designmeltdown.com/] to get a feel for how others approach similar challenges. Two things I would also think about, and these are very general (since I don't know the specifics of your client/project). One: color has different meanings in different cultures. For example, in the US red means danger or warning; in China, it means good luck. If your app is intended for international audiences, that's something to consider. Second: not sure if color blindness is an issue, but I always try to be sensitive to that if I'm forced to use color to denote a section or function. Vischeck [http://www.vischeck.com/] is a pretty decent simulator. Not sure if I've been especially helpful here, but good luck. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
