I had the same problem but was not an issue with the theme itself. Just solved it. It was an .htaccess problem.

What i found was that when changing the color scheme, Bartik makes a folder in Sites>Default>Files>Color that contains the modified colors.css. That file was accurate but not being found. Within the files folder is an .htaccess file that has the line:
Options +FollowSymLinks

I changed that to:
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

i had to do this to the .htaccess in my root previously. Has to do with server permissions.

Anywho. If that helps ya. Or if anyone has something better to say bout all that.

I have this issue but the whole site is in accesable if I use either
Options +FollowSymLinks
or
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

As a remark: when I change back to default colors the "Site>Default>Files>color" folder is removed.

I had this problem after upgrading core from 7.10 to 7.12. I solved it with some help from my webhosting. I had wrong file permissions in Sites>Default>Files folder. I think it differs from server to server and in my case folders needed 755 and php-files needed 644. Both higher and lower permissions caused problems.
