 I have looked in wp_inc/general-template.php

 where is defined the admin scheme:

 {{{wp_admin_css_color( 'fresh', __( 'Gray' ), admin_url( 'css/colors-
 fresh.css' ), array( '#7c7976', '#c6c6c6', '#e0e0e0', '#f1f1f1' ) );}}}

 the array define colors, which are then used in the theme so it helps
 identify the look of the scheme.

 The problem is that current Gray (btw why it is named Gray and then
 everything else is "fresh"?) do not use 3 of that 4 colors (only #f1f1f1
 is there).

 of course it is not a "problem" - it just does not make sense

Comment (by dd32):

 If anyone wants a visual overview of the colours used in the stylesheet, I
 just made this quick post: http://dd32.id.au/2011/06/17/wordpress-3-2
 -admin-colour-palette/, someone might want to cherry pick colours from
 there which suit better than the existing ones.
