What a coincidence, I just switched to my PTS today!
I agree with tombolger, in that emulating the Pebble Time UI would be an easy, classy, safe foray into the world of color.
Something like this would kind of make it look like the RSS reader was intended all along to be part of the Pebble experience. I’m guessing that someone out there would want an option to go back to black and white, though, then you might as well add options to switch the highlight color to other colors with similar brightness. How deep down the rabbit hole you want to go with customization options is up to you.
I think this is what they had in mind when they mentioned the settings screen, rather than the appearance of the feed configuration list in the app. Kind of a “dark mode” that’s all the rage these days. I’d say you could switch between the two UI options depending on if you’re looking at feeds or articles, but that might be kind of jarring. Maybe let the use choose between “dark” and “light” modes in this style, and then give us some options for the highlight color for feed and article view.

There’s also this color set, which is used on the notifications screen. You could use the same blue and red that pebble uses as defaults for feed and article views, perhaps. (I’m partial to the green that appears when you get text messages, too. Very satisfying color on these reflective pebble screens.)

There’s an idea, just steal the OS’s colors so I don’t have to pick them.
Looking into this a little more, this is also very useful: https://developer.rebble.io/developer.pebble.com/guides/tools-and-resources/color-picker/index.html#FF0000
No config options, among other things I just don’t want to code them.

Lots of apps and watchfaces have a color picker in settings, such as https://github.com/mattrossman/forecaswatch2
With that said, I’d be happy with just the OS colors. Even the lighter colors (like the OS uses) look great and don’t get washed out. (The more sunlight, the more they shimmer.)

Things to consider: I would need two splash screen images, one for color watches (with colored highlight) and one for black and white watches (with a black highlight). Not clear how to do this atm.
It might be time to retire the splash screen image, it doesn't fit when an article gets restored either.
