After playing with a custom CSS which wouldn't apply the colors defined in the theme, I came upon this post (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sharepointdesigner/archive/2010/04/09/working-with-the-sharepoint-theming-engine.aspx) which laid out the criteria for a working themable CSS:
1. Properly formed CSS entries:
/* [ReplaceColor(themeColor:"Dark2")] */ background-color:#ffffff;
2. Correctly located CSS file:
/Style Library/1033/Themable/custom.css
/Style Library/Themable/custom.css.
No other nesting will work.
3. Include CSS with a CSSRegistration control , not AlternateCSSUrl or CSSLink
4. Reapply the theme to calculate the themed CSS version
