Okay I made the first pass through the color xml file and there is some unusual issues. I suspect it is the length of time it takes for a skin to evolve as to why there are issues with colorizing a theme. There are settings that are simply not used in the current Alaska, others that do not change what you would expect them to change and still others that affect items you wouldn't expect to be changing.
It looks like it might have been easier to make this a spreadsheet listing each color what file accesses it and what it affects. That would be much easier than trial and error finding out that some things just don't mesh right. It would also appear that some streamlining of the Alaska code might be in order to make sure when you use color PosterTitle that it in fact affects PosterTitle in every view that it is used in (as an example).
Please ignore the actual color scheme, as it is just a test for the various items. Here is the link:
