- What do we want new visitors to immediately understand about the framework?

Apache Grail is a convention over configuration, Don’t Repeat Yourself (DRY), 
full stack framework similar to Rails and Django, built on the enterprise 
foundation of Spring Boot and Hibernate with a nearly two decade history.

It harnesses the power of the Apache Groovy language and the extensive use of 
Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) in the Java ecosystem.

- What do you think Grails’ unique selling propositions are today? - What makes 
it stand out in 2025?

Rapid application development
convention over configuration
scaffolding
solid performance
enterprise maturity
strong integration with Java ecosystems, especially Spring Boot/Spring 
Framework and Jakarta EE 10
"framework of frameworks," allowing the use of Spring and Hibernate frameworks

- Most crucially... what color(s) should Grails.org use in 2025?

I like both the green and the orange designs with the blue header.  The green 
somewhat associates it with https://spring.io/ and the historical green from 
https://web.archive.org/web/20170630001932/http://www.grails.org/

I do like the blue usage on https://start.grails.org/ with the orange logo at 
the bottom.
