Good eye! The white is also not-quite-white as well (as in the large 
GNOME logo.) Yeh, I used the Tango palette. The Tango palette has quite 
a few non web-safe colors - but I think in this day and age it's fine to 
not use all web-safe colors [1]. The palette with hex codes is here:

The little top bar is the darkest Aluminum color - #2e3436. It also has 
a subtle darker-grey-to-clear gradient over it starting at the bottom.

I'm attaching a slice of this gradient; you could use it as a background 
image over a #2e3436 div to get the same look as in the mock. It's 
called top-bar-gradient.png. I also attached a couple images that will 
help - the gnome foot in the top bar and the little divider between the 
elements. They all should be 27 px tall.

Thanks :)

This made me laugh :) I used to listen to Rammstein when I was in high 
school.
