There are other icon sets on aminet.  There are also palette preference settings for 4, 8 and 16 color workbenches.

You can look thru the galleries on this site and others and see what other people have done with icons, palettes, backdrops, etc on ECS machines.  There is a member here (I don't see him much anymore) named Mr. A500 who left some excellent examples in the gallery.  I think he managed some incredible graphics in just 16 colors.   Some of his work: http://www.amiga.org/gallery/index.php?u=2187

If you colorize or make your own icons, it might be a good idea to first select a popular palette for icons that you like for compatibility.

Both of those are not what I'm looking for 4 or 8 colors, but reworked icons, NO new icons/Glow icons like the later exsample.

I don't try to make my A500 workbench look prety, if it is not ugly that is OK

Soz but the best looking icons for 8 colors are definitely MWB even if you hate them :)
You can stick with stock 3.1 icons if you want even more simplistic look

Maybe this could be of interest: http://aminet.net/package/pix/nicon/IGfx30

Uses only 8 colors, but does not require mwb palette or newicons patch.
