Q:

Change Visual studio 2010 color palette

I really like Visual studio.  I think it is awesome IDE ever been made for developers.  But color scheme in new VS2010 is really ugly, so the first thing i'd like to do after install is to change its color palette.  I googled how to do this and found VS extension by Matthew Johnson [MSFT]. 
If you know another way to change color palette in VS2010, please let me know. 

A:

You can use the Visual Studio Color Theme Editor to make changes directly within Visual Studio, which will allow you to change the theme/color of the actual Visual Studio shell itself. 
To change the theme/color of the editor, you can browse themes (created by others) at Studio Styles, which also allows you to create a theme online and then import it into Visual Studio.
