Comment:

 You don't need to alter any core files -- just have your theme load
 `style.php` rather than `style.css` (which can be blank):

 {{{
 <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory');
 ?>/style.php" type="text/css" media="screen" />
 }}}

 Although using a `.php` stylesheet for dynamic content tends to be a bad
 idea as it's cached by the user's browser meaning any changes won't take
 effect. I'd suggest either adding a GET variable or even better, just
 having a master stylesheet (`style.css`) and then loading an additional
 stylesheet for the color you want.

 I have no opposition though to also checking for `style.php`, but I don't
 know if stuff would get broken by it or not.
