Overview

When we were making mockups for the refreshed admin bar in 3.3, I created a blue version to mix things up and ended up really liking it. It looks nice with both included admin color schemes, especially the blue. It’s also helpful for developers who maintain staging and production environments – I personally use the blue to remind me that I am looking at local development.
