Comment (by Meanwhile):

 I also think that the same coulour for these two would be OK.[[BR]]

 However, IMO the red colour for Stack and Tile doesn't work very well.

 S&T and Resizing Management have in common that they need a 'keypress &
 drag' combination. That also means that the chances that they occur by
 accident are virtually zero. So, the user is expecting something as a
 result of what he consciously chose to do, and only needs a visual
 confirmation of it (by colour). [[BR]]


 In such a case (with such a user's state of mind), a green colour would
 suit better than red, since red psychologically says 'Stop', 'Look out',
 'Error', 'Warning' etc.

 And Humdinger, you already saw it coming ("please don't hit me") so I'll
 be soft on you this time, "unobtrusive" pulsating animations belong to the
 discount section of the Annoying Bells & Whistles Store's Baroque
 department, IMHO...
