Why not use white as the "default" background color and black as the "default" foreground and label colors? That's what I plan to do with themes on PdParty ... This way, they only change if someone explicitly set the color.

Wow sounds good -any chance for a jmax colour scene? Cobalt and yellow i think -obscure and strange i know but in an obscure and strange person :-)

That's tricky because things like iemgui background and foreground color are saved with the patch and do not currently accept an "empty" value. If they did then the user could specify a "default" color inherited from Pd's defaults, and then I could make a preset for your cobalt iemguis while all iemguis where the user specified a color wouldn't be changed.
