I played with the colors and got this:
http://people.apache.org/~deweese/newcolors.png
This is my color block from skinconf.xml (note that I couldn't change
the 'selected' text in the menu, I think this is supposed to be controlled
by
'toolbox' but it doesn't work for me):
<color name="heading" value="#a5b6c6"/>
<color name="subheading" value="#CFDCED"/>
<color name="body" value="#ffffff"
link="#0F3660" vlink="#009999"
hlink="#000066"/>
<color name="published" value="#482980" font="#DDCCFF"/>
<color name="footer" value="#cedfef"/>
<color name="table" value="#a5b6c6"/>
<color name="table-cell" value="#ffffff"/>
<color name="menu" value="#482980" font="#dfceef"
link="#ffffff" vlink="#ffffff"
hlink="#ffcf00"/>
<color name="tab-selected" value="#482980"
link="#DDCCFF" vlink="#DDCCFF"
hlink="#AAAAEE"/>
<color name="subtab-selected" value="#482980"
link="#DDCCFF" vlink="#DDCCFF"
hlink="#AAAAEE"/>
<color name="subtab-unselected" value="#482980"
link="#DDCCFF" vlink="#DDCCFF"
hlink="#AAAAEE"/>
<color name="subheading" value="#482980"/>
<color name="navstrip" value="#482980" font="#ffffff"
link="#DDCCFF" vlink="#DDCCFF"
hlink="#AAAAEE"/>
<color name="toolbox" value="#6038b0" font="#ffcf00"/>
