The channel color for grease pencil is not controlled by themes, but by layer.

Oh, would have never found that on purpose. I would argue that the default color should be controlled by a theme's "Dope Sheet - Channel color" to be consistent with other Dope Sheets and for buttons to be visible without changing the channel color manually.
