Comment 43 for bug 276594

Adding colour to an Ubuntu wallpaper is _not_ the problem. Anyone who considers adding colour to Ubuntu a bug should be sentenced to at least four years of design study in the area of colour theory.

Please be mature enough to realize that publishing a bug such as this will effectively set us back to the monochromatic Ubuntu years. By presenting this as a bug and dimwittingly agreeing to it, you are _not_ moving Ubuntu's art and design ahead. There are extremely high profile people at Ubuntu who firmly believe that adding colour to Ubuntu "confuses the palette." The poor execution present in this wallpaper should _not_ be used as an "I told you so."

This wallpaper has far more significant problems than the colours. Ubuntu needs _more_ colour in its presentation, not less. It _does_ require well planned and executed colour however, which this wallpaper may be accused of suffering from, among other ailments.

If you believe this to be a poor wallpaper choice, don't hide it under the guise of a poorly anchored observation.
