Well, there you go. You have a new theme.

I'm still not sure what qualities you are looking for in the new
theme. An upcoming version of the latticeExtra package will have a
function that can be used to create a theme based on some given
colors; you might find it useful. It uses colors from RColorBrewer by
default, and looks like:
brewer.theme <-
function(symbol = brewer.pal(n = 8, name = "Dark2"),
fill = brewer.pal(n = 12, name = "Set3"),
region = brewer.pal(n = 11, name = "Spectral"),
reference = "#e8e8e8",
bg = "transparent",
fg = "black")
{
theme <-
list(plot.polygon = list(col = fill[1], border = fg[1]),
box.rectangle = list(col= symbol[1]),
box.umbrella = list(col= symbol[1]),
dot.line = list(col = reference),
dot.symbol = list(col = symbol[1]),
plot.line = list(col = symbol[1]),
plot.symbol = list(col= symbol[1]),
regions = list(col = colorRampPalette(region)(100)),
reference.line = list(col = reference),
superpose.line = list(col = symbol),
superpose.symbol = list(col = symbol),
superpose.polygon = list(col = fill, border = fg),
background = list(col = bg),
add.line = list(col = fg),
add.text = list(col = fg),
box.dot = list(col = fg),
axis.line = list(col = fg),
axis.text = list(col = fg),
strip.border = list(col = fg),
box.3d = list(col = fg),
par.xlab.text = list(col = fg),
par.ylab.text = list(col = fg),
par.zlab.text = list(col = fg),
par.main.text = list(col = fg),
par.sub.text = list(col = fg))
modifyList(standard.theme("pdf"), theme)
}
