I think Steven is referring to the tint of the green used in the 
trashcan, as we changed the hue of the greens a bit in the palette some 
time ago. I can't really say it looks out of place though.
I agree with Jakub that it would be bad to make every icon blue, nice to 
be able to tell the icons apart by color aswell.
