Make icons for Word, Excel, Visio, PPT etc. more distinguished.

[Oleg K.]

Icons for Office documents share almost the same main body and have only
visible difference in them at top left corner when application type shown (W
for Word, X for Excel etc). Unfortunately, many type share the same color of
these glyphs (Word and Visio are blue, Excel & Project are green). That makes
them extremely difficult to recognize in folder where they have small size.

Suggestion: use different colors for different document types (for example
make color Visio glyph Maroon).

Sounds more like you need to adjust your monitor settings so the
differences become apparent.
