Nope. It simply means that OOo has it's own colors and that they 
are part of the over all design and a distinctive mark. It should 
be clear that this is OOo when you see the Icon in your Mac's 
Application folder. This is kind of missing in the proposed Icons.

Of course but OOo has it's cross plattform identity and we should 
pep it up for the Mac but not change it even if the colours aren't 
the preferred ones of Mac users, they are part of OOo design, 
identity and maybe the trademark if one exists.
