You can choose your preferred colour in your settings. Mine is #abdcef pale blue.

@dang it would be awesome if this also translated to the icon and favicon :| I know, I know, it would be crazy.

True, but that's not the reason. The reason (for both) is that pg likes orange.

What if... The colour could reflect the time of day and the of the year? Thus over time we could say that the purple time is coming which means it's the fun part of the year!

You can do that yourself once you can set your top color, which happens at a certain level of karma. I think it's 250.
