Sure.
Start with MORE. Then, start customizing it:
Text color = #000000.
Link color = #990000.
Background color = (see attachment). Repeat this.
Secondary background color = #F9F5F0.
CSS: See attached file.
Footnote: Add your own.
Of course, customizing a theme is always "Work in Progress". These are just my own ideas, influenced by the old Formal White theme. Mary and others have helped. When I see a good CSS suggestion, I just include it. You can add your own background, and make colors match it.
The beauty of this approach is that even when you upgrade your moodle, these settings will remain in place. Plus, there is no code tweaking with this approach.
