Q: I am using Aperture 3 and recently installed an update from Apple. After restarting the computer and opening Aperture all of the "colour" is gone from the toolbar and events icons. How can I rest the colours?
How can i reset the colors of Aperture toolbars and event icons? They have all gone grey.
Aperture 3, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Have you just upgraded to Aperture 3.3 or later? The grey design is a feature, ot a bug
See the Release Notes: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2518 (Aperture 3.3)
Newly designed monochrome source list and toolbar icons.
The only way to change it, would be to manually replace the icons by colored ones in the Aperture application itself. You would have to patch the application bundle and to exchange some of the tiff files in the "Resources" folder.
And each time there is an update you would have to start over.
There are quite a few discussions on this, see:

P.S. Some hand colored icons to replace the grey ones are here:
