Make a complete theme in one package. Then make additional themes that uses
all the skin folders from the base theme, but as the first one a special
folder. This files in this folder will override the ones in the lower skin
folders from your base theme.

e.g.

- my_base <- all the files you need
- plone_templates
- plone_images
...

Color variant
- my_red_theme
- my_base
- plone_templates
- plone_images
...

If you put a file with the same name in my_red_theme, it will be used
instead of the file in my_base. If you put base_properties into
my_red_theme, it will replace the complete base_properties from my_base.
You can find more information in the theming documentation on plone.org.
