I completely agree. The color scheme is just too bright. It would be alright if it were customizable at all, but it's not. I'm hoping there are some changes to it before the final release. I don't think I can take this color palette all the time. And the notes app just looks so plain now. I don't understand the appeal of this new design. I liked the skeuomorphic design much better. I never realized it was so hated before. The current design, iOS 6 and earlier, is one of the reasons I never cared for Android much. Stock Android always looked cheap compared to the rich iOS gloss. Now Apple feels like Android, but with less options. I don't like the new direction one bit.
