I've noticed that there is a lot less purposeful color in the new interface:
It feels like a miss that the "Condition" of a project is no longer in the header. I also feel it's a miss to take away the color icons for status & condition. Having the color icons for "Project status" and "Condition" was a great way for visual people (like creative folk!) to immediately recognize a project's status & health. I'd like to see the "Condition" come back as a project header element (or make the ability to put it back, as a system setting). If you don't want to have "condition" in there, for whatever reason (maybe a clean interface?) maybe make the % Complete wheel change color (ie red, yellow, green) be the visual for the project's health.
