Skin by committee ...not a bad idea. Skinner's World was one such (might have the title of that one incorrect). Enjoyed huge popularity. If you average enough of them, you'll get 50% Gray.

Pass by the Carbon Building in downtown Chicago on my way to the office sometimes. I always think how great the colors would be in a WB.

I just realized something, check out Dave's avatar. Quite close is it not? Perhaps a whole suite could be made with Jim doing the gadgets.

Here are another couple of colors. I made these widgets last night and call them BCA Suite. BCA stands for Burnt Candy Apple. Should you choose them I will give you the codes.

Can you send me the border images in a pm JC?. It would be interesting to include something similar in the theme.

The golden color code would also be nice ( im planning to have darker window borders and panel.)

Hmmm....Maybe you should consider not mixing all the colours of the rainbow in the same skin to make a more "kept together" style...Just a thought
