Pd-extended is now setup to use a version of this with very tamed  
color (attached).  I think its important to have the GUIs something  
other than white to make them look solid and clickable.  But yes, too  
much color would be distracting.  Some color also attracts the eye  
just enough so that people know that its important, because really,  
without turning on the output~, the rest of the patch is kind of  
useless.
