Although I really prefer blues (kubuntu, for example), the developers
at sidux have come up with a really pleasing light brown (tan and
lighter shades, with occasional darker splashes) that is quite
unobtrusive. Of course, the only time you get the full effect is on an
empty desktop.

Alas, it's not glossy. The distro name is embellished in a sort of 3D effect.
