Hi Tink!

Thanks for you long reply to my e-mail. I obviously really misunderstood 
your first mail, and I did not guess that my reply would hurt you, as I 
had no idea you had studied design. Sorry.

Thanks for explaining it in such depth.

I think we have an agreement now: There is indeed a colour named "Royal 
Blue", and I am allowed to use this name, but it is not an official print 
colour, which you would like to only use.

I never claimed that it is used as a professional print colour name.
I just defended my "right" to use the term. ;-)

I used the name "Royal Blue" because it is (at least in Germany as 
"Königsblau") a very common name for a certain part of the blue colour 
spectrum, but I never meant this to be an exact CMYK colour definition.

By now I am convinced that we should indeed change the colours. Thanks for 
bringing this up.

You didn't comment on the small change I suggested, which is based on a 
colour traditionally associated with KDE. Is this change enough, or do 
you have any other colour scheme you would like to suggest?

"anyone professional knows it's something you do check before you start" 
looked like an attack to me, if it wasn't meant like this, then I 
apologize and take back my critique.

Olaf.
