I will report it as a bug.  What package should it be reported against?

Unfortunately, it appears to be one more step down the Ubuntu road of taking away customization. So I'm doubtful anything will come of it. But it means a lot to me, so I will report it, nevertheless.

It may well be the end of color customization.

More clues. I've tested on a few environments.

1. Lubuntu does no colorize at all. Nor fgtk2 nor gtk3.
2. XFCE (using Shimmer's gtk-theme-config) DOES colorize only gtk2 (pretty normal, as usually gtk3 is not able to do this) 3. Mate. The same as XFCE, only colorizes gtk2 apps (I insist, gtk3 apps cannot be colorized as is, they need to be tweaked via .gtk-3.0 RC).
4. Ubuntu hasn't this feature anymore.

So, as colorization works in every environment as eexpected, the problem is ours. But themes react fine in other desktops, so there's no problem at all on engines or themes RC files.

So, once tested all steps, there's only one left: the LXDE session settings daemon. Shall we declare it as a bug?

    Yes, I can't customize Lubuntu-default, experimental Box, or
    even Adwaita. Now I'm testing Xubuntu themes and they seem to be
    un-colorizable too. Something's happening to the Desktop
    Settings daemon. It's not theme or engine related. It also
    affects GTK3.

    Let me try more tests on other environments and I hope to have
    an answer or, at least, a clue.

        All:

        I encountered a problem with Lubuntu 14.04 which (to me) is
        a show-stopper.  I'm sure it isn't as important to others.

        I have my own peculiar style of customized colors.  One of
        the main reasons my primary system uses Lubuntu is because
        of the color-customization, which retains the ease-of-use
        that was present in Ubuntu 11.04.

        I upgraded a Lubuntu 13.10 system for which the colors
        worked fine. After the upgrade to 14.04, the color
        customization does not appear in any windows I have tried
        (and I have tried a lot of them).

        Even in the window where you change the appearance with
        custom colors, it shows that it remembers the colors I
        specified, but the specified colors are not used in the
        window in which I specify them.

        It appears that color-customization can be done in the
        preferences settings, but the color customization you
        specify is universally ignored.

        Does anyone have any idea of how to make color-customization
        work in Lubuntu 14.04?

Of course you can always make your own theme, so it will never be dead. I have made a few themes for the WM, and the panel is still customizable fortunately.
@Aere, Rafael did say the bug was in lubuntu session settings daemon.

Israel:

Is there something in the repository you install to build your own theme? If so, what is the package name I should use (or search-for)?

Using Synaptic Package Manager, searching for 'lubuntu', I do not see anything that resembles "lubuntu session settings daemon". Do you know what the package name is for it?
