Description
WordPress 3.8 Parker release focuses on the UI and accessibility of the platform.
How about if we add a different color background to every post status. Here's the screenshot of what I'm talking about & the patch file.
Your thoughts?

Thanks for the suggestion and patch, hardeepasrani. There's a plugin that does this that I've seen before, and I've done this on a client request as well. I think it's quite interesting, but my sense when it comes to core itself is that it may not be a great fit. Colors mean different things to different people, I'm a little worried the chosen colors may actually be less accessible to those with color blindness, and the loss of zebra striping if you have many posts in a row of a given status is also a bit less readable.
Also, for future patches, just a note that we use lowercase letters in hex values. You may be interested in our living CSS coding standards.
