+> Remember, we need to stay right away from the Mandriva colour scheme,

+
+As an additional note:
+We discussed this "color" issue between sips of beer last Friday and
+there were also these points:
+
+Almost all possible colors have been used by this or that
+distribution, think of the different colors of the Mandriva editions.
+so there is not much room for new colors - what IMHO makes the
+difference is not the color on its own but the combination of color
+and design.
+So, yes we can use a color scheme which may be similar to another
+distribution but will be quite different in design.
