I *really* hope everyone working on this is using a properly colour-calibrated display?
It looks like some kind of calibration on my other laptop is in order. It is clearly grey on this laptop (not blue either though.) But, I'm not sure how to calibrate it. :(
Um, if all my designs are a little too pink in the future, it's not the Hello Kitty thing, really!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_color_management looks like a decent reference. Note that doing really reliable calibration requires some hardware. Perhaps getting a single colorimeter to pass around all the people within Fedora who are likely to be messing with colors would not be a bad idea.
You can do rough ballpark calibration without hardware, and how to do it is pretty well detailed in this Dan's Data post:

under the heading 'Alternatives'.
Note that this is a case of do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do, because my two monitors and laptop are all cheerfully different from each other. But then, I don't do any graphic design =). For those who are working with colors, having a properly-calibrated display is pretty key.
Just to go back to this, in a moment of serendipity, hughsie happens to be working on exactly this:
