I like the idea of including a few different backgrounds to give some
choice. Regarding color pallete, see
http://www.unfocusedbrain.com/projects/match_color/

I don't have that version of Photoshop, so can't use the exact technique
outlined, but that sort of thing should be doable in just about any good
graphics program if you know the program well.

Something of note: It won't look super to have three background images all
sharing the exact same color pallete. Some variety would be good. (however,
all should be harmonious with the Ubuntu color pallete)
