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!
