[Tango-artists] Old Tango palette

[Cube]

Also, take a look at
http://cubestuff.wordpress.com/2007/11/25/skype-goes-tango/

The color is not from the palette, but the original Skype color. It looks
much better and much more realistic than the Tango blue or green (in this
case only, obviously).

Hey,

If you look at the Tango style guidelines, you'll see that..

"
The common practice when drawing icons is to use the palette as a base, 
applying it on large areas. Shading with gradients, creating highlight 
and shadows by changing value, and minor changes of saturation are also 
allowed and endorsed. Colors do not have to come exclusively from this 
set, as additional colors may be used. Starting from the base color and 
changing value, saturation or even hue slightly gives more consistant 
results than starting from arbitrary colors.
"

So my guess is the shade of green you're looking for isn't in the 
palette, though I can't be sure of this as I didn't make that icon and 
haven't been around for too long.

Maybe the veterans can give you more detailed answer :)
