Custom Color Options or at least more choices

It would be nice if there either more color schemes or custom color schemes.  I finally found one that kind of fit the theme of my site (modern, technological) and then it is ruined with PINK on the sub-links bar.  Why isn't there an easy fix for that?  If I could just change that green I'd have a perfectly Matrix-like color scheme to fit my site.

 I've tried messing with CSS and can't figure out how to modify that part with it.  I even tried using some suggestions for JavaScript generators from other users here.. those didn't work as I'd hoped either.

 So, more colors!

You can change the colors to anything you want by editing the CSS stylesheet on the Site Designer tab. Here a couple HTML color chart that I found.

Acxede.net has a nifty CSS generator for some elements of OL.  Click on Freebies in the menu.  You can select for the pink color that is in the menu and change it.

Thank you for the site link!  It doesn't work as posted but after some googling I managed to direct link to the generator.

 Now if a generator can do I know you can build it directly into site designer!  It took some work but I'm now very happy with my color scheme.
