I'm not too pleased about some of the color (and other choices)
in the buttons part of the UI. For example, in 2.4 the 'Render'
button was this big colorful thing that really stood out and
was easy to find (or perhaps "impossible to miss" would be
more accurate). In Blender 2.5 it is a small button with a
icon that's hard to see (without a magnifying glass) and it
says "Image". Why not make it bigger to emphasize it's
importance and give it a little color?

I'm not against sticking to standards for UI, but I think
having some visual landmarks amongst the uniformity would
help.
