Ok, I took a quick look at color picker in BigList. That is fine if these settings are skin-wide; you wouldn't want to customize each view.

Personally, I see the skin as only having three colors (blue, grey and white). So I'm not sure it would look great to have additional accents beyond the blue headings and highlight bar. White and grey are really the same color throughout the skin. But there may be a combination that looks good.

There are literally hundreds of labels that would have to be converted, though.

I am starting with one easy view first cause doing all the labels in the skin is a sh*t ton of work but if that level of customization is what people want then I will continue to add it.

I am a little confused by your statement of colors though considering there was already more color than blue due to the theme XBT's and you want to add another accent for the unwatched episode count...

I have been playing around with the color customizer and the look that can be achieved for the home menu is entirely in the users hands so it can look good or not.
I currently have this for my home menu colors:

I personally think that looks pretty good but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I am thinking of adding those three options in BigList to all views and any extras like the unwatched count on a case by case basis so things do not get out of control so someone can not make an ugly plaid or rainbow colored view

I am struggling with this though cause you are right about things possibly looking crappy and there are certain things I have to figure out first like how to automatically handle the theme_transparent color. Might put in a request in the skin.helper thread for an extra property that returns the color string minus the alpha value... Lots to consider
