Often when you purchase a WordPress theme, it comes with usually one theme that has some configurable items through the WordPress backend. Some theme providers like Themify are now putting a creative touch by selling numerous color variations with one theme purchase, so you can use the same theme (different colors) for different sites.

Hi guys
Catalyst looks good but I always think that if you buy a theme designed by a pro, they already have the best colour combinations.
I’m looking for a theme framework to use for clients and thought that I’d narrowed it down to Thesis, Genesis or Headway but Catalyst looks as though it could be in there with a chance.
Any advice boys?
