And?  The OP asked about customizing the "fonts, colors of the _frame_ of
the *Help* buffer".

That's why I asked for clarification. If the buffer is not standalone in its
own frame, then changing the fonts and colors of its frame would also affect
other buffers displayed there. If the buffer is in its own frame, then I
don't see what's missing now.

Perhaps the OP meant font-lock coloring. That could be added for buffer
*Help*, but I'm not sure that's what was requested.

I took the OP to mean something other than font-lock fontifying, because of
the mention of "frame". The phrase "frame of the *Help* buffer" makes me
think of a dedicated *Help*- buffer frame. The phrase "fonts, colors of the
frame" makes me think of default font, default foreground and background
colors, cursor color, and so on. Clarification welcome.
