Hi All,
Figured I should start somewhere with this. Have a back log of things I want to talk about that I've discovered during the development of my two Windows Phone 7 (WP7) games. But I can sort through those slowly. For now, I can talk about current things. I love colors, so I figured I'd just start with a quick and dirty list of the different theme accent colors:
| Color | Hex Code |
|---|---|
| Blue | FF1BA1E2 |
| Brown | FFA05000 |
| Green | FF339933 |
| Lime | FF8CBF26 |
| Magenta | FFFF0097 |
| Orange | FFF09609 |
| Pink | FFE671B8 |
| Purple | FFA200FF |
| Red | FFE51400 |
| Teal | FF00ABA9 |
Now, you shouldn't be using these directly as there's a resource for the currently active one: {StaticResource PhoneAccentColor}, but if you wanted to use a palette in your game that used the other theme colors for potential flavor; they're not really listed anywhere that I found.
Anyway, I'm doing some experiments in multi-touch. So, I'll post a bit more about doing some stuff with that later.
And for the curious both The Eye and Suitor 2 were made for Silverlight using Blend 4 and VS2010 and are both ready in the Marketplace for the US launch! Find out more about the games themselves in the Marketplace or at http://www.mikeware.com/projects.php.
Enjoy!

Realized it might be useful to mention how to do this from the code behind. As mentioned on the MSDN page:
Color backgroundColor = (Color)Application.Current.Resources["PhoneBackgroundColor"];
