It seems that for accessibility reasons, the colours in use should not be
closely related, but should be (as Bald Eagle says) "easily
differentiated". Two different shades of blue for people with various
colour-blindness could be problematic. I don't have such an impairment,
but the two different shades of blue are still pretty difficult to
distinguish at a glance.
