I think that the colors are subjective as not subjective. Depends on the
context. As situations or contexts a color can be good or not..."usable"
or not. This is the question. Usable colors or not.

Secondly there is another question:
It's true that the user can be change the color of a theme (like
newhuman for example) but is really simple, is really intuitive?...is
really necessary change only color palette or must we change, for best
result, gtkrc code too? Want this the users? 
I think that is better to do less type of themes but with more color
versions (2 or 3 color versions). The user want change the theme with
one click and they want something ready.

I hope you understand. I'm sorry for my scolastic English.
