Dave -
initially, I think it is best to copy an existing theme and modify it for a bit before jumping into creating a new theme from scratch, since it will help you get a feel for how Jamroom parses the information for the output theme. However, if you have read the theme guide, you can always try it out. The worst that can happen is it just wont work
With that aside, all of the colors and stuff for the themes are in the .tpl files, or the css file, in the theme directory, so just start modifying them and see what you get.
on another note, I REALLY need to clean up the themes and move more of the "style" of the theme out into the CSS sheet.. I'm going to try and spruce up the default themes for version 1.2.
