I don't think anybody has plans for something this ambitious
(though such a tool could certainly be written ... it probably
doesn't make sense as part of core GNOME, but rather as
a power-user app.)

But certainly configurable colors are something that people have
wanted for a long time, and I do plan on looking at it when 
I get a chance. One of the important parts of this is doing
it so that the colors are shared across GNOME and KDE (and
anybody else who wants to pay attention.)
