I love ICS. It's the reason I bought the Galaxy Nexus. The color scheme is very nice and subtle. Indoors, that is.
The blue lettering on a black background (pull down the notification bar for an example) is almost impossible to read in bright sunlight. The screen is bright enough outdoors when there is contrast on the screen, black on white or white on black is fine. But there are many things I have to guess at. The home button and back button are too feint to see in daylight but since they're consistently placed I can guess at them and figure it out.
I wish there was an "Outdoor" setting that made for better contrast. Microsoft has had this built into Windows for decades, one would think that Google would notice this and accommodate the outdoor folks.
