Custom palettes are absolutely in the plan, but not implemented yet. You can however use rgb values for most colours, e.g. #000 - #fff.

There are a tiny amount of fixed separators in adventuron and eventually you'll be able to use specific codes to style them to any colour, but there is a more powerful way of providing separators (beta, so may be bugs)....

Step 1 - Create an 8x8 tile in mspaint, paint.net, gimp, or www.pixilart.com  - save the tile as a PNG. Make sure the background colour of the tile is the same as the background colour (paper) colour of your game, or better yet, is transparent.

Step 2 - Select MENU / Import in the Adventuron editor window, to import the PNG as a graphic asset. After importing, note the ID of the imported PNG in the assets{  graphic {} } section,

Step 3 - Create a separators section in the assets{} section and reference the number of horizontal pixels in your tile, and reference the graphic id of your png tile.....

   separators {
      my_sep : separator tile = "your_imported_png_graphic_id_here" horz_pixels = "8" ;
   }

Step 4 - Now reference your separator in the layout section. SB = status bar, O = object list, X = exits, SEP "my_sep" = id of separator. 

   my_theme : theme {
      extends = two
      theme_settings {
         layout = SB O X SEP "my_sep"
      }
   }

To see what this looks like in action (this is using a custom font too)....

Here is an 8x8 tile I just made now (I upscaled this to 768px for posting here, so don't import this one):

Now, following the guide shown above (and also following the guide elsewhere in the forums for setting a new font), the screen might look like this:

themes {
   
   my_theme : theme {
      extends = two
      theme_settings {
         font = userfont_dead_forest
         layout = SB O X SEP "my_sep"
      }
      screen {
         status_bar_padding_bottom  = 2
      }
      colors {
         status_bar_paper            = #55e
         status_bar_pen              = #ee0
      }
   }
}
