Red colors

[GoogleCodeExporter]

First of all, great icon theme! :-)
You seem to have icons for nearly everything.

A few critisms though:
the color red is used in several places where it isn't advisable,
as red commonly signals "danger".

A few examples i stumbled upon:

- red cross in gtk-close which reminds on "cancel", somehting grayish like
in tango would be appropriate here.
- red arrow in the save icon, should rather use a green arrow.

Regards

Hi, this has been noted before. It comes down to preference, for example I 
believe
red adds urgency to the "save immediately" operation, as well as "close" and 
"eject".
For closing, it's best to have the icon stand out a bit more than others, as 
not to
close windows or tabs by accident.

You can refer to the following issue reports for a more detailed reasoning for 
the
use of red in those situations, since this has come up in the past:
http://code.google.com/p/gnome-colors/issues/detail?id=103
http://code.google.com/p/gnome-colors/issues/detail?id=74

Also, here you can get the source files for said icons:

e=eject%2Bclose.tar.gz

If you find the red is disrupting your work flow, modifying the source files 
above
should be as easy as opening them in Inkscape and choosing a new color other 
than red.
