To be honest, my non-negotiable was that it needed to have some orange, but that doesn't work very good with a calm, minimalist app, so it remained as the accent color.

The rest wasn't my choice, we just did a few tests and my gf chose the palette you see today.

Having said that, you got a point and I didn't even realize it until you mentioned it.

I don't know, I thought the design looked really nice.
