Ok so heres my problem. I have a theme already set and ready to go on my site but I hate the colors and I am having a hard time changing them. Is there any way to use the colors from a different theme and apply it to my current theme?

Heres the theme I am using now...

And here are the colors I want to apply on the above theme.

Is it possible? And if so can anyone help me out?

yes, you will need to edit your style.css do a view source on your site to find various classes and id(s).

here is a start:

body { font-family: Tahoma, taipei; color;#000000; font-size: 12px}

s/b:
body { font-family: Tahoma, taipei; color: #000000; font-size: 12px;}

the body as is does not indicate background color, so if you want a black background and silver/gray text add this:

body { font-family: Tahoma, taipei; color;#999; font-size: 12px; background: #000;}

This might help you out. Download the following image which lists what css codes are used for each element in each of your themes. This is the easiest starting point.

(IMAGE WILL BE DELETED IN ABOUT A MONTH)

Another method I use is to screenshot the existing theme and pull into Photoshop so I can sample colors and then search for those color codes in the theme so I can replace them with what I want.

For those that are curious, I used the webmaster plug-in extension for Firefox/Mozilla to show those codes. Very useful little tool that will show lots of other webpage information and point you towards code optimizations.

the following affect your block titles and content backgrounds:

.blockTitle {background-color: #86A9CA; color: #000000; padding: 2px; font-weight: bold}
.blockContent {background-color: #DEE7EF; padding: 2px;}

just change the background (background-color: #86A9CA;) and text color (color: #000000;)

your style.css is very simple so you should be able to edit fairly easy. just make one change at a time and update to see effect.

remember:

Note: Remember to effect all changes you must go to Sytem Admin -> Preferences -> General Setting [edit] -> and set "update module template.html..." to yes and then select go at bottom of screen. This will update your site to effect all changes (remember to go back once you have finished editing and set same to no and update once again).
