Well, I'm not a huge fan either, (its very bright) BUT that being said... I think overall it's a good thing.

Why?

Well, I've heard that pastel-like colors might have a more calming effect on people.

Maybe there will be less newbie/oldie bashings after this change. No more piling on everyone for unpopular comments.
The whole thing is more soothing to the psyche. (I think?). So maybe it will calm people down a bit more.

Maybe.
