Mitsuhiro Yoshida made classic orange for 1.5.2 and posted it to the Japanese moodle forum.
I take the liberty of posting it here, attached. A version of it is what I use at
yueigo.com
Thanks Mitsu!

Hi Timothy thanks for your reply but the theme I'm talking about is the one moodle.org is using right now, not classicorange 
This website http://www.haller.com.ve/cursos/ is using it too

I'm new on Moodle and also I wonder where find Moodle Themes and moodle.org ones (Default, moodleorenge, moodleorangeArial).
Thanks in advance, C.

It is strange that the default theme is not that of the site as the site is essentially the shop window for the product.
It is very strange that the site theme is not included at all. I guess Martin doesn't want lots of clone sites. That would make sense.
The strangest thing of all is the choice to use that white one as the default theme. I can't think of one real site I have seen which uses it. I guess the thinking was to go for something completely neutral but it is such a disappointment to new moodlers when they see all of the wonderful sites around and then the plain white one when they install theirs. I know it's easy enough for most people to change the theme but IMHO the default theme should glisten and sparkle and say "Look how good this piece of software is" like a bloke in a DJ or a woman in a ball gown IYSWIM.

I agree with you.
Changing themes is a feature that some other LMS doesn't have. For a new user (as I am) could be useful to know which theme is used on each site.
For example, when you browse a blog made by word press or serendipity you can find the used theme as footer note.
I think that this could be useful in moodle too.

The state of bundled themes is bad I know. In fact I had twenty new themes ready to check in for 1.6 a few weeks ago but the last-minute accessibility changes in 1.6 have broken them all and I haven't time to fix/maintain them.
We now have the Moodle Themes repository to collect and display themes, and we will be actively choosing the best from there to include in Moodle from now on.
