This is mostly due to the fact that we are in the transition of switching to a 
new color scheme. The following page shows the "KDE World Color 
Palette" (which is still not 100% done - especially wrt colors other than 
blueish colors).

http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=Colors

These colors are the only _plain_ colors that you may use for KDE on websites, 
screen design and printed matters in general.

These colors don't define our _corporate_ design yet, though. For defining our 
_corporate_ design we need to choose a smaller set of base colors and accent 
colors from the KDE World Color Palette. One of those colors would have to be 
Pantone 300C of course. Other likely colors might include the yellow, orange 
and green from the KDE World Color Palette of course ... but those are not 
fixed yet.   

So please be creative and come up with a few design proposals that are based 
on the current state of the new KDE CIG (it's far away from done):

http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=KDE+CIG

And if you think that there are _specific_ things that need to be changed or 
taken care of (like web friendliness etc.) then please contact me or come up 
with it on this list.

Greetings,
Torsten Rahn
