This issue is my fault! Additional Drivers is one of the icons that appears on the app grid by default, so it needs to look nice 🙂
When I drew this icon many moons ago, I made a conscious decision to use a more realistic shade of green that you might see on a real circuit board, rather than using the warmer green that we have on the original Yaru palette (which we inherited from Suru). I also used a very dark grey for the chip in the middle. I think I thought it wouldn't be recognisable as a circuit board unless it had realistic colours.
In retrospect, this might have been a mistake. I've included a suggestion for a reworked version of the icon below. As well as recolouring it, I took the opportunity to improve the detail on some of the smaller sizes.
Expected Behavior
The icon for additional drivers should use the same colour palette as the other Yaru icons and have the same vibrant appearance.
Actual Behavior
When I recently installed Ubuntu for my dad on an old laptop, I noticed that this icon was just a bit more "gloomy" than the others.
Steps to Reproduce the Problem
Look at the icon.
