There are two sorts of colours in a Java Applet. The Applet did not
get very far so I don't even know for sure if it is AWT or Swing. I
suspect AWT.

Some are burned into the program. The choices have nothing to do with
the Java language. These are purely the colours the Applet author
liked. There are three ways you could change them:

1. get the program source from the author. Change the colour numbers.
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/colour.html for the colour numbers --
same as HTML. Just look for new Color(...) or Color.xxxx

2. decompile the source, change the colour numbers, recompile.
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/decompiler.html

3. patch the color numbers in the class file. This is quite bit
harder. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jasm.html

The other colours are the colours of the frames and widgets. These in
Swing are controlled by the Look and Feel. You can change that by
adding one line of code to the program to select a different
L&F/skin.. You must decompile/recompile to do that or get the source.
