there's a really unfortunate turn of conversation happening here. the colours 
roles proposed by the usability team are not really about widget styles, but 
rather use of colours within applications. see:

the only one of the new colour roles that i can see that might impact styles 
is the focus colour.

the others are either the window decorations or content in application dialogs 
and windows.

that this keeps getting dragged towards styles, both in the code and in the 
conversation, is going to make it difficult to solve the primary problem 
here: accessibility and consistency in the use of colours in applications.

if we can focus on that issue, we might have a chance here =)
