 Combining red and blue is visually stressful. They focus at different
 lengths and therefore your eyes will be fighting to focus both colors
 simultaneously. Even orange has enough long-wavelength red in it as to cause
 this "3d optical illlusion" effect slighltly, against short-wavelength blues
 and purples. 

The idea was to have a common color and blue is more general accepted. It's
very hard to find a strong color to fit other variation, without using
non-colors (grays, black, white). Not to mention how difficult is to find a
color theme, that would make anyone happy :)

 PS: IMHO, there should be an option to put a border/bevel/inset/outset
 (just regular html, no images or rounded corners) around the different
 panels. Seems like Gmail has a good "look" in this regard, with simple
 borders that look good, render efficient, and aren't distracting:

 have well-chosen contrasting colors for text areas as well -- what about
 just copying some of their simpler color "themes" (the color palette, not
 the exact look)?

 Of course you can make different adjustments to make it more don't know how.
The idea was to use Colibri as it is.
