I'm going to add that besides color, which seems to be the main focus here,
that there are several other design issues I hope the solution we choose
can offer us. That includes (mentioned
<http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/Icon_standardisation> at bottom of etherpad
<http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/Icon_standardisation>):

Looking great visually

   - Icons align with text (on the baseline, or below, or above. It differs
   from icon to icons)


   - Icons align vertically and horizontally with other icons


   - Icon sizes are proportionate to each other

Easy to manipulate and push icon changes

   - No extra workflows apart from changing SVG files


   - No need to export different color files after making a slight
   improvement to icon

Easy to ship and communicate changes to other teams

   - No need to dig emails


   - Easy to track latest versions. No confusion


   - No extra work for other teams to change icons in their own team
   applications when we make icon improvements

Consistency in application

   - Easy for everyone to know which icon to use without duplicating
   different icons for same usage


Monte has shown me the script that he's created and I've got to say they
are pretty impressive and it ticks off alot of these issues. I'll continue
to work with him and the rest towards a solution that better streamline
engineering and design workflows while giving us consistently great results.
