No, the request is not solved that way, because using theme colors is just one
possibility. Not all styles will use the theme colors. And - even if it were
just a choice between, say, Grayscale; high-contrast Black-and-White; and theme
colors - that's three options right there.

I never said there is need to change attributes _often_. We're talking about
once per table, or less if one can make the same choice for several tables
(e.g. by defining a named style which captures the choices for one table).

That's actually supporting my point. Instead of having to construct a style
from scratch and set all of the individual properties, you would be able to do
by making a few style-aspect choices. And while there will be N x M x K
combinations you can achieve, you will still only see N, and M, and K different
choices (where right now we have a very small number combined choices, less
than 2(N+M+K) probably, of  complete styles, out of the whole space of N x M x
K). And if they want to, they can - in the same dialog or a different dialog -
get into the reeds and play with each individual property of the table style.
