Colors

[Obligatory] FreeCAD uses a palette adapted from the Tango palette. Each main color comes in 4 tones: Highlight, Base, Dark and Outline.

Use the Yellow tones for tools that create objects.
Use the Blue tones for tools that modify objects
Use the Teal tones for view-related tools
Use the Red tones for Constraint related tools

Why limit myself to these colors?

Restricting the colors to a defined palette helps avoid heterogeneous iconography and improves readability when there are many icons.
How? Installing the palette is as easy as copying it into your Inkscape palette folder.
