In general colors are managed by gtk themes, so you'll want to study those. Remember that we're using Gtk2 so make sure to look at the right docs, it's very different in Gtk3 after 3.2.

The register sheet colors are defined in src/register/register-gnome/gnucash-sheet.c. It looks like there are 4 properties defined there, header_color, primary_color, secondary_color, and split_color that set the backgrounds for different parts of the sheet, so try modifying those in ~/.gtkrc-2.0.

You also need to select Prefefences>General>Don't use GnuCash built-in colors.
