Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntu-mono

The system-shutdown-panel-restart.svg is red, its combination with the
default "fuscous gray" panel background makes it unpleasant, I don't
know if low contrast is the issue here, but I dare you to read red text
on fuscous gray without weeping. It's just a bad color combination, I
don't even consider it a subjective matter.

Besides, bright red is a bit "scary", it screams urgency, like something
is wrong, which is not the case. IMHO a more subtle color should be
chosen, yellow is commonly used for something that requires attention,
orange would work too, but it's already used for icon folders and other
stuff, so it may not stand out enough.

Anyway, it's not my job to select a palette for this stuff, IIRC the
Ayatana group was discussing this a while ago; that said, the chosen
color should look fine with the default panel background.
