You mentioned selected technical property "KPlato and Kexi both have
very little Flake integration" as a reason for grouping these (and not
other) apps together. But I claim it is not a part of the 'message to
the public'.

My primary propose is to drop idea of emphasizing categories, because
uses of the office applications tend to overlap heavily.

Else, as I said before:

I have no problems with any (even random) color in (already excellent)
Nuno's icons, as from my experience I bet that grouping by colors is
of secondary importance for the statistical user. We just need fixed
group of colors for websites/templates/marketing/branding/guis, colors
that not necessarily encode categories, but colors that the user
(eventually) can remember after months spent with the applications.
