I do agree about contrast skin, the use of alll kinda soft color started 
a couple of years ago and seems to be a trent, let's not follow a trent 
like we always do with typo3 but follow what we feel is right and listen 
to users...
That means that I think we can find a good combiniation between the old 
high contrast skin and a new low contrast skin. I have been working with 
/skin_grey for quite some time and there is not enough contrast...
Today I installed t3skin_40 and it looks a lot better except for the 
page tree. That could really use some more color.

it is true that everybody can make there own skin... which is freedom, 
But we must admit that making a skin is not for everybody. I am a really 
bad bad designer, and I can't maker a skin, I just can say what I like 
or don't like (blue and purpel is for me a good combination together 
with red dots for the background./... ).

So I was thinking to make a high contrast skin, and use CSS opacity 
together with a slider to match eachothers eye :)
