Humanity Colors Icon Pack Updated: 9 Different Colors For Humanity Icon Theme
The guys behind the RAVEfinity project have released an updated Humanity Colors icon theme for Ubuntu 14.04 (and older), which work great with Ambiance and Radiance Colors GTK themes.
The Humanity Colors icon theme pack includes the default Ubuntu icon theme - Humanity -, in 9 different colors: blue, brown, graphite, green, orange (different from the default Humanity orange), pink, purple, red and yellow, all available for both dark and light panels.
The icon theme pack should work with Unity, GNOME (Shell), Xfce, LXDE, Openbox and probably other DEs/shells too.
Here are a few screenshots with the updated Humanity Colors icon pack (and Ambiance Colors) in Ubuntu 14.04:

Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr Might Get A New Icon Theme
In an Ubuntu Developer Summit session today, Matthieu James (Graphic/Visual Designer at Canonical) presented the design guidelines as well as some of the work done to create a new icon theme for Ubuntu (both desktop and touch).
The main goal is to finalize the new icon theme for 14.04 on touch devices but it's also possible for the icon theme to be available for Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr on the desktop.
Here are a few screenshots with some of the slides in Matthieu's presentation (the quality is pretty bad since I took screenshots of the G+ hangout):
Unfortunately, the presentation used in the vUDS session is not yet available, but you can watch the entire session below:

What do you think?

Humanity Colors Icon Theme Now Available In 12 Colors
Humanity Colors, an icon theme pack designed by the Ravefinity Project which provides Humanity (the default Ubuntu icon theme) in various colors, was updated with 3 new colors along with other changes and bug fixes.
Humanity Colors 14.04.3 includes 3 new colors: Manila, Aqua, Teal, bringing the icon theme to a total of 12 colors variations (the theme already included the following colors: blue, brown, graphite, green, orange - different from the default Humanity orange -, pink, purple, red and yellow), all available for both dark and light panels.
Here are the 3 new icon colors in action:
The new version also brings "darker, crisper and way better looking overall colors" for the whole icon theme pack, according to Jared Sot, one of the Ravefinity designers:
It's also worth mentioning that the icon theme no longer requires Humanity and Ubuntu Mono icon themes to be installed, these being bundled with the theme. Because of this, Humanity Colors now uses about 90-100 mb of HDD space.
In the email I received today from Jared, he mentioned that Ambiance & Radiance Colors are to be updated to match the new colors at some point. For now though, Ambiance & Radiance colors is available in 9 color variations - see THIS article for more info.
As a reminder, Humanity Colors icon theme pack should work with Unity, GNOME (Shell), Xfce, LXDE, Openbox and probably other DEs/shells too.
Install Humanity Colors in Ubuntu
Ubuntu 14.04, 13.10 and 12.04 / Linux Mint 17, 16 and 13 (and derivatives) users can use the Ravefinity PPA to install the latest Humanity Colors:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ravefinity-project/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install humanity-colorsFor other Linux distributions, grab Humanity colors from the Ravefinity website.
To change the icon theme in Unity, you can use a tool such as Ubuntu Tweak or Unity Tweak Tool. For GNOME Shell, you can change the theme using GNOME Tweak Tool. Make sure to set Humanity-dark-COLORX icon themes for dark panels and Humanity-light-COLORX for light panels.
