I wish there was a design standard for app tiles, though. For example, right now the default opaque blue of the Outlook tiles is jarring, but we can expect that to change later. However, there's no cure for the eternal ugliness of IM+'s tile, or the fixed green of Evernote. It would be great if all apps had to be submitted with the creator's favoured look and a white monochrome version for the user who wants to maintain an appearance across their theme.
I also like the appearance of some setups with multi-coloured tiles, but it's quite unlikely that a user will get a great-looking Start page by pure serendipity. Forcing the apps to have a white icon option would leave the door open for customisation apps to let you say, "I want this tile mauve, this tile blue, this tile with [photo x]", and so on.
