First on a specifically research based approach, this is wrong. Colours are _culturally_ and _temporally_ rooted in meaning. Look to the colours of traditional wedding wear in Japan or different parts of tribal Africa for examples of cultural meaning. Look to the tonal differences between the 60s and 80s pop culture art for temporal examples. >> > Some suggested Colours: green (wallpaper), blue (buttons), grey/white/a >> > little brownish (transparant toolbars and transparant windows) and black >> > (log out/turn off) >> > Generally, you use a well designed palette that connotes what you are attempting to communicate in a particular design. This is not a random collection of colours, nor a monochromatic or full spectrum sampling. Ubuntu currently has no palette and its design is problematic on a number of levels regarding communication. That said, unto itself, there is no problem with a base brown desktop if it fully fleshed out and properly designed around. The problems you cite are rooted more largely in the design flounderings that Ubuntu suffers from rather than the choice of brown as a colour. Arguably, making the changes you suggest with the same design approach would yield the exact same problems.
