You don't have to move anything around.

I extracted color-theme-6.6 in ~/elisp/color-theme/ here, and then added
the directory to my load-path with:

    (add-to-list 'load-path "~/elisp/color-theme")

Autoloading the color-theme library is also nice, which you can enable
with the following in your ~/.emacs file:

    (autoload 'color-theme-select "color-theme.el" "Color Theme Support" t)

Then it should be possible to just type `M-x color-theme-select' and let
Emacs do the work of locating `color-theme.el' in your `load-path', load
it, and run the function you just invoked.
