One particular type of scheme that's missing is everything as a
completely colourless monochrome. If you work with photography, or
video production, you need a neutral reference. Coloured backgrounds
throw your judgement out, and you start to tweak pictures in the wrong
way, to compensate.
Whilst it's easy for me to replace a background, it's much harder to do
the same with other GUI decorations (being very time-consuming, or
impossible to figure out how, or perhaps not being possible, at all).
You get a similar problem for astronomy people. Who, typically, want a
red screen, and put a coloured filter over their laptop as a simple
solution. Unfortunately, that makes some GUI's difficult to use, as two
or more, normally, contrasting colours used next to each other both turn
black. A grey-shaded theme would work for them too, with their red
filter. Or, an entirely pre-tinted theme.
