i dont see any problem with the black toolbars, since every other part of the theme is light grey, it is very easy on the eyes. The point is its not like the others, something new, something less boring. Changing something doesnt mean it is worse, it means it is different, it is new. it would be a bad sign if a good theme wouldnt be accepted just because the artwork theme doesnt dare to change.
the purple selected color doesnt have too much with ubuntu, but its something that anybody can change easily. i attach a variant of mine i hope Rico wont mind.
