A nice idea would be to allow the uploading of a small logo image for the admin header. Additionally, the header colour could either be selected via dropdown from a predefined set (my preference, for sheer simplicity) or defined via wp-config or a dashboard setting.<br>

I must say I also support the lighter colour. What would come in handy, is a branding option or a colour scheme selection menu to personalise each instance of a wp-install. For those of us who manage multiple sites and sometimes mix them up because the admins all look alike.<div>

Sorry you don't like it, but the majority of people really seem to like the changes, and visually impaired people have also reported it being easier to read.<br>
