Rationale

Xubuntu is a Ubuntu derivative which leverages the XFCE desktop for speed and grace. The desired result will be an image which embraces the "light" Ubuntu design concept and displays well on a variety of hardware environments.

The theme of this release is Natty Narwhal. Inspiration can be taken from the colours of the Narwhal and the environment in which it lives.

Palette

The Xubuntu palette includes the following colours.
