It's a bit of a quandary isn't it?  I do believe you can do a nice brown 
theme - my problem with most of them is that the brown overpowers 
everything.  It's why I've got so much whitespace as a balance.

I definately think this would be a good idea.  It's pretty trivial to 
change the theme to be identical but with a different hue.  I made a 
blue version in about 5 minutes.  Providing 6 or so colour presets might 
be a good solution to the problem so if they really do hate the brown, 
they can change the colour without having to find their own theme.
