I proposed a concrete suggestion in some earlier email:
* parametrize names used in the theme: base and accented;
* remove some of color blending/variant stuff that is specific for
 Solarized only
* create an api with good logical placeholder names in something like
 color-scheme.el or similar to be included by both cus-theme.el and by
 the end user
* create appropriate custom interface to it
* write nice doc/tips/guide for theme developers as well as for end
 users on how to use colors for basic elements vs accents
If such division in framework as "base" vs accentuated elements is
considered acceptable and appropriate for Emacs.
