Especially when displayed on (uncalibrated) monitors or under varying light conditions, achieving a proper colour impression is an art by itself.

The Gnome HCI Styleguide on Colour suggests using a palette of 32 (predefined) colours and not to rely on them.

Ideal would be to make the whole colour scheme skinable via something like a simplified CSS.

I was looking for advice how to use colours (I’ll blog about this soon) – and some (official) thoughts about when to use premade widgets and when to use custom ones.
