Candidates include: app icons, toolbar icons, thumbnails, wizard graphics, custom colour like page background. In this case, a default background colour change is fine, but only if the colour value is harmonious with workspace. A goal is to make the page canvas more predominant so the user can focus in the work. Selecting the wrong colour would only distract and stand out as odd. Our brains interpret colour like sound, knowing when a colour does not belong. The wrong colour is like playing some notes in a song out of key. Let's explore any UI changes holistically.
