I'm working on a graphics application and when dealing with colour correction the last thing would want is bright buttons sticking out, you want a neutral gray interface.

That's what the "graphite" appearance option is for. Anyone who wants gray buttons can easily have them, for all applications. All, that is, except for the ones that ignore the users' preferences and force a particular color scheme.

When dealing with hi-res film colour correction, something that you might do in a package like Shake or Final Cut Pro, even having graphite - which is gray, true, but more of a bright and bubbly € gray - might not be good enough. Though they were tools ported to OS/X you'll find that both those applications use their own interface and colour scheme. You'll also find if you try and sell a compositing tool that uses the aqua colour scheme - graphite or not - you'll have many professionals coming down on you like a ton of bricks, which is the reason, about a year and a half ago, Shake made the move from a lighter to darker scheme.
