These were based off of Android's Ice Cream Sandwich Palette.

We started there and were tweaking from it, mainly because it was designed
with a dark chrome in mind (which is why it's candy-like). In reality, ICS
takes a mostly blue-accent approach and only uses those colors sparingly
(e.g. never to fill a button).

Overall, I think the colors in the "test" palette are too . . .
candylike. This could be an artifact of the shadowed text (which I
generally think we need to stay away from), but overall it reminds me too
much of Twitter.
I can tell you that the global community will not really like it if
we go this route.
The red works, the blue is close, the orange seems . . i dunno.
I've never really seen orange buttons. But the green is way, way too
twitter-like to pass. This needs darkening, I think, or strengthening.
What are the hex values these are based on?
