Objections
Color scheme clashes or is not distinct
From 3 comments
Foundation is already as flat as it gets... Is the red supposed to be orange and the green a teal color :S ? The list bullets/numbers are too far left, out of alignment with the…
drivebyacct2 on HNI don't see any design here, it's just change a few colors that don't go together. My opinion, you should have gone surfing.

anonfunction on HNNice! A couple of comments though 1) The separators in the top bar are a bit too 3d to fit with the rest 2) The button borders are not dark enough in the button groups

Requests
Add a distinct active button style
From 1 comment
The buttons would be great with a separate :active style which reinforces that they are bona fide functioning buttons with some extra 3D on the mousedown.

Fix dropdown mouse tracking
From 1 comment
It's nice but the dropdown selection suffers from the common issue that Amazon solved using "fuzzier" mouse tracking. Trying to get to the last dropdown box on this "Almost Flat…
