Hi,
  The color scheme used in the Timeline plugin is hard coded into the
script that implements the Timeline user interface. You could modify the
colors used in the plugin by editing the ::timeline::chooseColor proc.
The colors used for secondary structure plots are defined in this block
at line 85 of timeline.tcl if I'm not mistaken (I didn't write this code):
       switch $intensity {
          B {set red 180; set green 180; set blue 0}
          C {set red 255; set green 255; set blue 255}
          E {set red 255; set green 255; set blue 100}
          T {set red 70; set green 150; set blue 150}
          G {set red 255; set green 160; set blue 255}
          H {set red 225; set green 130; set blue 225}
          I {set red 225; set green 20; set blue 20}
          default {set red 100; set green 100; set blue 100}
       }
