Definitely.

MSO has 43 autoformat table styles, where only 1 of them are shown by default,
and 14 new table styles and 6 document theme-colored variants of those new
table styles (total is 99 :D). It makes perfect sense to provide colored
variants of table styles as

1) most users arent creative enough to colorize table styles (i include myself
in that category)
2) modifying table styles isnt an easy task that novice users (benjamin) would
be able to do or advanced users (eve) would want to do
3) the point of presets is to simplify the amount of changes the user has to
make

We definitely dont need 7 variants of each table style design, but having 3 or
4 of each would be beneficial (1 black/white and 2 or 3 colorized).

Yes asking the creative minds in the community to assist with styles and
colorization would be useful.
