I'm the "self-identified data scientist". I agree that there are quite a few holes in my analysis, but I was not aiming for an actual increase in sales just by designing the icon this way. I however wanted to have an icon which looked good enough and could blend in, at least from a color point of view. So I guess it might not be an interesting problem to you, but I actually had quite some fun thinking about it. Which is the most important for a side project, right? ;)

As someone else commented, your title is a bit misleading. Perhaps try the same analysis for the bottom or a random subset of 300 apps and see what comes out. Dataporn can be nice, but you should be a little more rigorous with your statements.

Confused about the blending in part. One of my biggest gripes is continually missing an app icon because it's blue (or otherwise similar to another, but generally blue). We just had a conversation in a similar thread the other day - "Make Your App Icons Boring" - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4219164 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4219164 You also don't show the icon at the small size that we'd see on our devices. Does it translate well?
