Comment (by dauidus):
I would really appreciate a darker styling, and don't think something
keyed to color schemes would present itself as too dark. As we stand in
4.0, its difficult to distinguish where one section ends and the next
begins, particularly in sections with more than one option. When we also
consider the coloring of standard buttons within the customizer, we begin
to see a real disconnect in the overall styling. After all, settings in
the Customizer should be easy to find and simple to navigate through. I'm
just not getting this with the light grey color scheme, though.
Perhaps the disconnect when using a darker color scheme presents itself
most in the secondary panels (the ones that slide in). No clear
distinction is made between the "You are Customizing" title and the
setting panel.
I understand that tying the Customizer colors to the chosen color scheme
might not be the best option. But, it would provide a more cohesive UI
and help direct the user to the desired areas.
