Mezzo
The 3-column Mezzo theme is currently in its third incarnation for WordPress 2.3 and up. It works best if you download the included (free) plugins on the Mezzo theme page, but will work without them.

Blues from Smashing Magazine
I’m a big fan of Smashing Magazine and their WordPress themes are second-to-none. This page highlights two themes, Vintage and Blues, which are both exceptionally designed with great attention to detail.
By default, Blues is focused around a teaching design, however you can download the theme and the accompanying Photoshp files to edit it to your heart’s content.

WooThemes Irresistable
A gorgeous blue WordPress theme designed by the highly-acclaimed WooThemes team. Includes sections for video and photo uploads, lots of user-friendly customization options and built-in banner ad management. This theme is only available for personal use, and includes 9 different color schemes – in case you get tired of the blue version.

BizMag
A lovely 3-column WordPress theme with a dash of orange to spice things up. This theme is based on the popular magazine style themes on many WordPress blogs. The demo link currently isn’t active and you may have to right-click the Download link and choose “Save Target As…” to get to the zip file. Hopefully this is something they’ll correct soon.
CorporateMag
As its name implies, CorporateMag is a quality-made, professional Web 2.0 style WordPress theme with a built-in content slider that allows your users to preview photos and content simultaneously on the front page. It’s also widget-ready and fully customizable.

What a brilliant idea! You have probably just saved people a ton of hours with this information. I particularly like the Woo themes Irresistible. Not that I’m actually looking for a blue theme at the moment, seem to have got stuck on purple but I’m bookmarking this page for future websites.
Hope you will be doing this for every colour under the sun – that would make an amazing resource!
Thanks again.
Hi Rachel,
Darn! You uncovered my evil master plan to cover every color (and “theme”) possible.
