Bug Description
More semantic/
Red: denotes critical issues
Orange: denotes critical warnings
Blue: denotes pure information.
Green denotes that something is "now OK", or "approved".
In conjunction with bug #740540 ("Please redraw all of the Ubuntu Mono Icons"), the messaging-menu highlight (aka "new mail") envelope highlight colour should be changed from green to blue before it only provides pure information, and does not convey something that is either OK, or not OK.
(Documented further in discussions between Christian Giordano, Otto Greenslade, David Siegel and Mark Shuttleworth ~ 2010-06-11 and the original Ayatana thread suggestion starting ~1 April 2010:
"[Ayatana] message indicator.(colour palette)"
