I concur. This is something explain in Gnome HIG ( http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/design-color.html ), and if I remember well my Human Interaction classes, colors may have different cultural connotations and so we should avoid to carrying too much information in it. But usually, the colorblind reason is enough to convince people :) -- Michael Scherer
