Panel color is changed by opening any color picker in any (GNOME or KDE)
program, selecting a color, and dragging the color swatch onto the
panel.  (This works for almost anything, anywhere with selectable
colors.)  You can set an image by dragging an image to the panel.  While
dragging the mouse cursor will have a + next to it when you're over
something willing to accept the color/image.

You can also right-click an empty spot on a panel and select properties
menu item and then background tab.

GNOME Configurator will override theme colors:
  http://dag.wieers.com/packages/cog/cog-0.7.1-2.1.fc3.rf.i386.rpm

Once installed it will be in Applications menu -> System Settings ->
GNOME Configurator
