Hi Nick.
I actually posted something like that a few days ago, but it ended up a subjective discussion, and was better left off of here. I made a theme to also illustrate what I meant, you might give it a try if you're interested:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:isantop/iansanto-ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install unity-theme
Then, apply the "Unity" theme from the Appearance properties.

Has anyone explored the idea of making the top-Panel a different color

The top-Panel is an always present fixture of the Desktop, unlike a
currently running application's menubar or toolbar. Yet (no matter the
theme one chooses) the top-Panel and application-toolbar are always the
same color, resulting in a lack of disparity between the two. For
clarity and recognition, the Panel could be a separate color from
application-toolbars (or at least users could be able to make it a
different color). This will help the user easily recognize the Panel as
the always-present fixture which displays the "Window Title," "global
Application Menus," "Indicators," and so forth. When the panel is the
same color as the application then its controls lose clarity and
definition due to how they "blend in" with the application.
