Ubuntu uses orange, Kubuntu uses blue, Xubuntu uses light anthracite  
(or something; that's how the color seems to me). Those seem like  
nice default colors for themes. I think that we might have a very  
rich default set of looks for Ubuntu if we were to make such a cross- 
platform UI plan a reality.
