Why? Again, you are proposing this all or nothing thinking and I
completely do not understand it. Can you please explain?

We have to make a decision.

I think that the Fedora Project is in a good spot here in that the
default Gnome3 wallpaper is a shade of blue that coincides nicely with
the colors that Fedora uses anyway.
The same cannot be said of OpenSUSE, though.
Given the hubbub that is in Fedora where there isn't really a conflict
of colors, but other distros would likely have a conflict with the
colors, would upstream Gnome be willing to compromise on this? Would
upstream be willing to allow distros to create stripe-based wallpapers
that include the same design pattern, same degree of saturation, same
texture, etc., but use different distro-specific colors? After all,
could we really expect OpenSUSE to ship a blue theme? So much of their
artwork (website, icon set, metacity theme, etc.) is green. And I have
never seen a blue gecko. : (
If we were able get a compromise like this, I think that there would be
greater likelihood of buy-in from the various the distros. They would be
representing and celebrating Gnome, but would retain key portions of
their own distro "self." Perhaps even Ubuntu would be willing to ship an
aubergine stripe-based theme as part of their wallpaper set (though, of
course, not as their default, as they are using Unity).
This could also potentially benefit Gnome, as they could do something
like, "Different Colors, One Gnome," or something like that. The Gnome
brand identity could be visible in the stripes, while the distros get
their identity in the colors.

That's what I thought too
