To change the whole color theme in joomla 1.5 you go to your admin area then extensions/template manager. Choose the template, then click edit. You will see on the right side some parameters. That is where you can change the color scheme and menu type, etc.

If you mean to change something within the template, normally what I do is figure out what color # I want to change, then use an editor like extplorer or just download the file and search for that color and replace it with the color of choice.

Hope that helps.

Oops, sorry… If you can’t find the template setting in the template setup area, you can manually change it in the template file. With your ftp or extplorer or some other file management tool, open the template/templatename/ja_vars_1.0x.php, and you will see up at the top area there is a section that talks about color.

<blockquote># BEGIN: TEMPLATE CONFIGURATIONS ##########
####################################
$_params = new mosParameters(”);
# Joomla menutype used in main navigation
# Show user tools
$_params->set(JA_TOOL_USER, 3); //0: disabled; 2: enabled

# LOGO TYPE DESCRIPTION
$_params->set(‘logoType’,’image’);//image: Image; text: Text
#LOGO TEXT DESCRIPTION
$_params->set(‘logoText’,’JA Mesolite’);
#SLOGAN DESCRIPTION
$_params->set(‘sloganText’,’2nd July JA Template’);
#FONT SIZE DESCRIPTION
$_params->set(‘ja_font’,’3′);//value from 1 to 6
#TEMPLATE WIDTH DESCRIPTION
$_params->set(‘ja_screen’,’wide’);//narrow:Narrow Screen; wide:Wide Screen;
#Color variation to use
$_params->set(‘ja_color’,’green’);//default:Default; red:Red; green:Green;
#MENU TYPE DESCRIPTION
$_params->set(‘menutype’,’mainmenu’);
#MENU’S TYPE
$_params->set(‘ja_menu’,’css’);//split:Split Menu; css:CSS Menu; moo:Moo Menu;
#Show/hide default frontpage
$_params->set(‘showFrontPage’,1); //0:No; 1:Yes;
#Show Screen tools” description=”Display screen tools
//$_params->set(‘usertool_color’,’0′);//0:No; 4:Yes;</blockquote>

You can change the variables within this file, be sure to save the original in case you need to revert. Hope this works for you.
