The dark grey suits aperture since its meant to be a digital darkroom and so the brightest images should be your photos and not some piece of UI.
Of course an entire OS of dark grey could be unbearable lol. Im actually quite fond of the color used in macnn(the blueish grey is quite soothing)

Yeah obviously Aperture's UI makes sense for a photo editing tool, but people here are suggesting it could be used across the entire OS.

For it's time it was great. Compare it to the other OS GUIs of the time.
It was CONSISTENT (something OS X has never been) it wasn't garish and was modern for the time.
Someone made a "future platinum" mockup in here around 99/2000 and I could never find it again.
It was slick as all get out, while still looking like a Mac.

What was more consistent? You had apps looking different, you had brushed metal and so on.

OS 9 was more consistent. It wasn't till Jobs showed up and near the end of OS 9 did the brushed metal QT and iTunes show up.
OS 9 followed the HIG more so than OS X.

Too bad Apple listened to users on this one. Having different skins for different apps makes them a lot easier to tell apart. Otherwise, the content is the only cue to identify a particular window.
The user interface of the different window schemes is a different story (and should, of course, be 100% consistent).

Don't worry, developers can still make their apps as ugly as their black little hearts desire. It just looks like consistency will be the default (and even that I'm doubting somewhat).

Well I think for Example Garage Band will still have it's own special GUI. I just think there is going to be more over-all consistency. Which is something OS X needs.
