Yea that's what I thought too, but didn't see that formally stated  
anywhere. The concept of contrasting colour pairs as individual  
identity was/is a strong, unique design element (of the Sugar UI),  
seems to make sense to bring that forward into the Sugar branding  
(using different colour variations suggested the diverse community of  
individuals behind Sugar).
