I was also reminded of green color the green color discussion. >From the discussion about the admin redesign [0][1]: "makes keeping a visual identity for Django hard to separate from the admin UI" "the admin is part of _your_ site, not ours, and so should have a visually-distinct theme/brand that can enforce the user's theme, not ours."
I think the green might be less of an issue for this page, as end users shouldn't see it, and really it might make sense to keep the Django brand here, as that's what the page is all about.
