I disagree. The plethora of colours, along with their poetic names, is one of Marvin's most delightful features, and it
must stay.
I agree with you, though, that we should get the option to add our own custom colours.
We have already requested this from Kris several times in the past. So far, Kris has always rejected these requests.
There is a thread available on this issue in Marvin's official bug-tracker on GitHub:
https://github.com/kguil/Marvin-Roadmap/issues/126
As you can see, Kris denied the request and moved it to the "Closed" section.
However, I'm not giving up.
I hope Kris will change his mind on this later on. Feel free to post your own support for better colours management to that thread; it's possible to attach your comment on it even though the thread is currently in the "Closed" section.
Also, please note that there already is a MobileRead thread talking about this issue:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=222471
There is, in fact, an entire Marvin forum section on MobileRead:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=260
... so that you can say the current thread is misplaced in the Apple Devices subsection.

Why not, but what I believe we need even more than presets, is the option to
save an unlimited amount of our own colour/settings themes. I have posted that issue to GitHub as well:
https://github.com/kguil/Marvin-Roadmap/issues/19
I am also eagerly awaiting the addition of background textures (Stanza supported them):
https://github.com/kguil/Marvin-Roadmap/issues/15
because I find
all solid-colour backgrounds dull and unsatisfactory for me, compared to textures.

Nope, they will only affect Marvin's interface, the default red, mostly on the
Home screen. I regret that Marvin now strives to mimic the fug-ugly iOS 7 "flat" silliness, and I find Marvin's Library ugly today, whereas I liked it in earlier Marvin 1.x versions. Today in Marvin 2.x, the Library is mostly just that hideous (ŕ la iOS 7) expanse of blinding white with barely any interface colour to be seen.
