Another possible argument against asking the user to
customize colors may be the context of this particular
application.  Remember that he was describing a CBT
situation, in which the user may not be looking at the
software as a tool that s/he fools around with to
personalize for long term use.  Rather it may be some
required interaction that the user isn't particularly
thrilled about or just a short-term means to an end.
Diverting the user from the training/learning objective may
be non-optimal in this case.
