No one seems to have touched on this yet, but there actually are several key colors. They just so happen to be various shades of gray. Apart from making stuff blue, your suggestion is sort of already what we have...
Besides, this layout looks really good. No reason to shoot a dead horse with a make-up gun.

Having the option to change the current theme wouldn't hurt that much in my opinion.

But that's not what at question.
The starter of the thread wants to completely change the color scheme.

Yea, I really dislike the colors. Lets see what colors we have on the forum. Light grey, dark grey, regular grey, and wait... more grey! :p
The use of colors has been physcologically proven to increase enjoyment etc.

I' ve tried messing around a bit with greasemonkey, and changing the colors and images is definately possible with it.

I have been here for 2 years, and I still feel this colour is the most suitable. Even the images go with the theme.
It's definitely hard to find a theme like this. Go look at other forums. You see rainbows, or else themes released by other sites.
And since we are LifelessPeople, grey might be a suitable colour.

First off, that will never happen.

The only way what you're proposing would happen is if Trel adds an alternate theme.
The current colorset is pretty much the identity of the forum and community.
What you're asking is akin to telling Canada, "Your flag is bland. Let's make it yellow and replace that leaf with a fig newton." |
I don't think that the identity of the forums, and furthermore, the website is at the center of this issue actually. For any and all who visit the forums they will see L2P as it is now.
Should new themes be added, then only those members who elect to view L2P in a different light will see L2P in a different light.
What I'm asking is akin to going to Canada, and putting on color-tinted glasses, then looking at the flag. Not everyone sees what you see. You see?
And the only way to change images is to change the image. Sure you can change colors easily enough with a stylesheet but you're still going to have gray images.

The src attributes can be dynamically changed using JavaScript (Greasemonkey) so they point to images on another location. This way, the images can also be restyled.
It's a lot of work though, and I am not sure if it's worth the effort.

It' s even possible to 'embed' the images in the greasemonkey script, so you don' t have to use an external server.

I was referring to changing them with just CSS which was the challenge of one of Trel's previous L2P design posts.
