Member Theme User Settings

Where does a user set the "Scheme" for their profile? I set the home theme via Scheme (cool feature) but members are still in the grayscale. As a humble user, I can’t figure out where to change my scheme. Where is that option?

    mydomain.com has a buddypress installation using the Corporate theme. The corporate theme has a wonderful feature that permits the administrator to select a color scheme from a subset of color schemes. It’s very easy to change the mood and cheerfulness of a site in a simple click.

    Once in a buddypress site, buddypress has themes that users ‘sail on’ to navigate the social buddypress site. The default theme is called a Member theme, I believe, and is set in the dashboard under the buddy press section entitled General Settings:

    "Select theme to use for BuddyPress generated pages"

    The wpmudev.org community’s premium theme, Corporate includes a member theme that can be selected under the aforementioned settings.

    Once selected, the users in the forum have the same look and feel as the home page as the default settings on the Corporate theme. However, once the administrator selects one of the color themes for the home page, the member theme (selected earlier) remains in the grayscale colors.

    Without having to change any code, I was wondering if there is a setting that can make the theme used for BuddyPress generated pages inherit the same color scheme as the one selected in the site theme.
