I support this idea too, since iacopo masi has written here what I had in mind for the last two months without being able to formulate it: too much of one color-orange (although a lovely orange). As an example of plural-color GUI, one could have a look to Charamel theme for firefox/thunderbird. With two main colors (white and beige) and one secondary blue-and smooth shadows- the GUI looks professionnal and is actually very usable.
