New video color seems inconsistent

[Nate Wiebe]

Binary package hint: humanity-icon-theme

The film in the video folder icon is now purple. It seems inconsistent with the media category icon which is dark orange as well as the video icon which is orange. Even if only the media category icon was changed to purple, it would make the icons seem more consistent than they are.

Attached is what the icons would look like purple.

The other option is to change the film in the folder icon to orange, but then it doesn't stand out from the actual folder.

The draft proposed by Nate Wiebe looks really good to me.

The reason the folder-video icon and folder-image was given purple , is to keep some consistency for the folder icons, the user desktop turned purple and it was the lone purple icon there in a sea of orange.
Purple is being used mainly for the desktop[computer / monitor] icons.

Using an orange film on an orange folder is not ideal too ;-) , some other color needed to be used for the film.
The folder-video icon was "inconsistently" grey earlier too ;p

None of the MIME or any other icons use purple. However it is something to be considered for Maverick. Not sure we would end up doing it.

I can see not changing the actual video icon to purple, but I think that the icon for the "Sound & Video" menu entry (2nd in the attached file), should be changed to purple so the menu would be more consistent.

@Nate Wiebe : That was considered too , but nothing in the "Applications" menu currently uses purple.
Then again , surely something to be considered for Maverick . Currently everything is wrapped up for Lucid.

Do file bugs for any other ideas you have too.
