This problem affects all OOo program and document icons at the 16x16 size, and
the Math and Text at 32x32.

Where this is going to be the biggest problem is when you have a directory full
of various documents.  Look at the below attached screenshot.  If you had a
directory full of Excel and Word icons could they be confused?  Hardly.  Now
imagine a directory full of Calc and Writer icons.  It takes more than a glance
to tell them apart.  And I bet there's more than a few people that can't see any
difference between Math and Writer documents.

While changing some of the colors will help, the main problem is the little
symbol that identifies the icon blends into the background.  What really needs
to be done is get the symbol to stand out.  I'll let the artists decide how to
do that, but if you compare with the MS Office icons in the screenshot you'll
notice that in the MS Office icons a higher percentage of the icon is the
identifying color, the colors are very different from each other, and the symbol
is the primary element of the icon instead of looking like part of the 
background.
