In any case, here's my vote for no color extensions. At one time I dug this idea, but after more careful consideration, I think they're distracting and interfere with the unity of the project. The blue color is a distinctive thematic element, and I think swapping it for every subproject is a mistake. Simply changing a name that appears under the word "fedora" would be a better idea. I think trying to incorporate some additional graphic element referencing the subproject name is probably also a bad move, because it would make the resulting amalgam too busy. -- Paul W.
