I think everyone is going at this the wrong way. If Chameleon is not a style, then it throws out everything (including default) except for base. Base, by definition:
noun
a conceptual structure or entity on which something draws or depends

verb
have as the foundation for (something); use as a point from which (something) can develop

Everyone needs to move on from the idea though that
1. The design decisions of prosilver are in anyway efficient or effective, they are not they are all flawed in a lot of ways.
2. Chameleon is not a style but instead a library of components that we will leverage to create styles.

There will be a default style but it’s not something that I have even started on yet as we need to get all nessecary component studies completed first before I can start.

suggest something original that has nothing to do with anything previously. no "silver" no "sub" no "pro"

The new theme will be something completely fresh and 100% new not just an upgrade.

So lets not tie it to something that it is not related to.
