I think what I meant was system's colors. When I install a metacity theme for example, it automatically adjusts it to ubuntu's brown colors. But I want to change the brown to something else.

themes are located in ~/.themes, or /usr/share/themes for system themes (just copy it over to ~/.themes, and rename it)

most theme files are annotated in comments, so you should be able to figure it out.

metacity stuff is usually (in clearlooks themes) under a section called:

style "metacity-frame"

You find a version of your GTK theme that matches the closest to the color theme you want, or you follow the instructions in bvc's first link in the section about GTK colors.
