since i started this i think i should explain myself. it was not my 
intention to ignite the brown vs non-brown argument.
i was saying that for me  as an unexperienced user it would have been 
nice back then if human had had the ability to change the "highlight" 
colors, because i would have liked the modern ubuntulooks look in 
another color (human being the only theme using ubuntulooks), but did 
not know how to install themes, like most users won't.

what i am suggesting is something like a theme with BROWN selection 
colors that can be changed in the appearance properties.

and about using strong colors in general (as gtk:bg or gtk:base) i think 
we should be careful, that can look complicated if applications use 
colors to display the content (eg system monitor, or simply thumbnails 
in nautilus): let the content shine in colors, not the gui
