For the green, there will be a problem, because the oxygen's green is not
our green, and there are 2 greens (I believe). So, your idea is good to
start, you need 4 or 5 greens (green/blue, green/yellow, green/dark,
green/green ^^ and green/?), it's very important if we don't want
repetitions. After we take the oxygen palette + green set and we will have
the Chloropryll palette.

The customers aren't the geeks, that it's sure. I think in "normal people"
is not us, so they don't want to understant how it's work, and they just
want it's work, it does what they want without search. So the theme should
be very realistic, simple, because lot of things is not a solution, it's
necessary a good thing at the good place, and a very instinctive design,
very easy to understand.

So I need help for the green set, can you start the selection ? Thanks!
 Jonathan.
