This got some +1's on IRC, so I'll send here to preserve it.
<sladen> jdub: the hue has moved from ~25° to ~19°
(the brown->orange slant), the saturation was gone from ~55% to
~70% which is the less appealing change as this reduces
the contrast between the background and 'white' (effectively
making the background gradients into foreground colours)
<sladen> jdub: if you reduce the saturation back to what it
was, there's a probability that the changes should become more
useable and less distracting
Doing some checking in The GIMP, taking the luminance down -14% and the
saturation down -33% keeps the new 'orange' hue but places the window-border
gradients back in the background:

This shows the current and saturation-reduced states against a neutral
background.
