Hi Hap,
I don't think you have followed the installation instructions correctly
(to be fair, they're not very clear on the webpage you linked to). It's
not enough to copy just color-theme.el, you need the entire
color-theme-6.6.0 directory. So get rid of ~/bin/color-theme.el and put
the whole directory in ~/bin and use
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/bin/color-theme-6.6.0")
(require 'color-theme)
(eval-after-load "color-theme"
'(progn
(color-theme-initialize)
(color-theme-charcoal-black)))
