I hope this is the right place for this ...
I'm getting annoyed by the colors of the icons.
Grey just carries a connotation of "inactive" or "not worthy of attention" while hot colors like orange say "pay attention to me"
so as is ...
Grey = thread i have not posted in // my eyes tend to skip over these due to grey
Green = no new replies (thread i've posted in) //this draws my attention to something not worthy of it
orange = new replies (thread i've posted in) //these threads draw my eye most of all
blue = someone has quoted me. //feels less priority than above which in turn feels weird.
I think it would be more "natural" if
grey = no new replies (meaning there is no good reason for me to return to it at this time)
blue = new replies (in a thread i have not posted in)
green = new replies (in a thread i have posted in)
orange = someone quoted me (so i really probably want to look here)
there you have it ... my two cents has been added.
