Yes, I have put my color config here:

http://orgmode.org/cd-colors.el

This started as a copy of Peter Jones config and was then edited and  
hacked - which is why it may not be in the most convenient shape.   
Feel free to package it up nicely and send me a better version.

You also need something like this, adapted to your todo keywords.

(setq org-todo-keyword-faces
       '(("SDMB" . cd-org-someday-kwd-face)
	("STARTED" . cd-org-started-kwd-face)
	("STRT" . cd-org-started-kwd-face)
	("WAITING" . cd-org-waiting-kwd-face)
	("WAIT" . cd-org-waiting-kwd-face)
	("DELG" . cd-org-delegated-kwd-face)
	("PROJ" . cd-org-project-kwd-face)
	("DONE" . cd-org-done-kwd-face)
	("PRDN" . cd-org-done-kwd-face)
	("PRCL" . cd-org-cancelled-kwd-face)
	("CNCL" . cd-org-cancelled-kwd-face)
	("PRCN" . cd-org-cancelled-kwd-face)
	("TODO" . cd-org-todo-kwd-face)
	("SELECTED" . cd-org-todo-kwd-face)
	("INVITED" . cd-org-waiting-kwd-face)
	("SCHEDULED" . cd-org-done-kwd-face)
	("DECLINED" . cd-org-cancelled-kwd-face)))

Cheers!
