Hi,

I think there is a bug in the state icons used e.g. in messengers. If you take
a look at the breeze icon displaying the current state of a user (e.g. away,
available), you will notice that the available icon with its light green has a
much lower contrast than the black away icon. I think this is communication the
wrong way. The intense contrast of the away icons looks like an actually active
actor, while the light tone of the available icon creates just the opposite
association of an fade / not present user. I suggest to rethink contrast /
color saturation of the icons in this icon family.
