Horde already has themes - one theme choice will set up the colors.

I do have a crude system for a 'single' default user that I proposed to
horde developers and was rejected as not universally suited (I don't
dispute the judgment).

I can send you the tarball with instructions if you wish but this
concept only envisions a single 'default' user - though with some
imagination, you might be able to extend the number of default
users...if I recall correctly, themes could be part of this default_user
setup).
