Bug Description
When you receive a message the indicator menu turns from opaque to full white to indicate that there is a new message. But this is not clear since all the other icons are white and you do not see any difference.
This is very confuse to understand that the indicator is in a different state from the other indicators or if it needs attention.
----------DESIGN RESOLUTION-
Please use the current ubuntu theme green to indicate that there is a new message - #3FB24F, the same green as we use for the battery icon in indicators.
Change the LED light to green as well.

Seems that since the led flashes blue for new messages it would be consistent to use blue in the indicator
Also the indicators are not all moochromatic as the battery still changes to green to indicate charging so it seems this would not violate some policy unless the battery is also due for change of some sort.
A number of users were confused by the change to remove color
