Actually, I wouldn't rule out literal takes on these subject matters.

A monotone color scheme as such sends a message, too. One of uniformity,
stableness, eventually even shyness, indecision and paranoia. Most
likely not energy, movement, diversity ...

I'm still learning, too.

Because a single option does not make people pause and wonder what to
choose ;)

The ShareAlike aspect is just nice to have for keeping derivatives in
the family, more GPL-like.

To not include other colors would be a problem. For wallpapers, I would
even just define the colors given by panel and windows and require that
wallpapers have to go well with them (icons might play a role in this
considerations, too).
