If we change this, then of course this will impact pretty much every
freebsd html page ever produced, including the Handbook etc. And because
the color of these headlines in the Handbook is pretty much the only 
thing
that still gives it the FreeBSD look and feel, that will be a BIG 
change.

I'm not against changing this to a blue tone. But I wanted to point out 
the
significance of that change. The alternative would be to use the same 
dark
red tone for the logo, like I've done in previous mockups.

Or maybe if we add slightly more yellow to that red tone in order to 
make it
more complementary with the blue. Using a second color isn't necessarily
a bad thing. If everything is in blue tones then it will be a VERY cool 
site ;-)
