Those colors are a little more interesting (of course, you do still need to change the title colors, but if you intend on making a logo, that'll take care of that). That also might be an awful lot of space there at the top that's taken up by the title - or rather the blank space around the title.

My only other suggestion is that, under the new color scheme, you join the menu with the body of the page in the same fashion as the body with the column on the right. Basically that means instead of the white space between the first and second columns, make it that dotted divider between the second and third columns. I don't know if that's possible with how the code is written, but I think it would look nicer.
