+I have some ideas, but the resource given doesn't let me select only my 
+2 colours, and trying 3 (ignoring the middle colour) didn't work very 
+well with my mouse and level of manual dexterity.
+(The "clickable link" didn't work for me either, but maybe I tried the 
+wrong link.)
+
+I think that these 2 base colours would be very good together :
+#0066aa (a blue similar to that of Mandriva) and
+#00cc00 (a light green).
+
+The effect of these 2 colours together would be very different from 
+those of Mandriva.  The green is a refreshing colour that would be good 
+as the main colour, as an accent, or shared on par with the blue.
+If one of the colours is to be an accent, I would rather it were the blue.
+If only one of the colours is selected, I would prefer the light green.
+
+As well, I hope you stay away from selecting (ugly) red/brown colours.
+
+my 2 cents :)
