I think you're already doing that by setting
theme.ether.backgroundColors[1] = ... By doing that for 0, 2, 3, ...
you'll change the background colors of the other bands.

Hmm, I just realize that my code doesn't allow an easy way to override
that. I'll fix it later. For now, you need to use a "coder". Look for
ex:role="coder"
and
party-colors
in the presidents example. Unfortunately you need to specify a color for
every case.
