I just made a GRUB splash image using the "Simple Human" background. I've removed the gradients so it looks pretty clean even with 14 colours. IMHO this would be a nice thing to have by default, and I've chosen something that blends well with the rest of the OS.
Attached the xpm.gz (of course), a PNG, and the modified SVG used to generate it. Installation directions here

I must admit that i don't really like that.. What about something fresh, post 70s stuff?
I just wanted something that blended in... I'm not particularly fond of it, either. Honestly, I'm not particularly fond of Ubuntu's look and feel in general...
So, if you have something that would look better and blend well, post a link. If it's feasible to get it looking decent with 14 colours, I'll do it.
It looks good imo, esp. if your going for a specific vector like design.
