i’m trying to override the “nimbusBase” color for specific instance of JButton/JTabbedPane with no luck. only the specific attributes of the component e.g. “Button.background”, are working. any idea?

UIDefaults dialogTheme = new UIDefaults();
// dialogTheme.put(“nimbusBase”, Color.orange);
// dialogTheme.put("nimbusBlueGrey", Color.blue);
dialogTheme.put("Button.background", Color.yellow);
JButton dialogButton = new JButton("North");
dialogButton.putClientProperty("Nimbus.Overrides.InheritDefaults", true);
dialogButton.putClientProperty("Nimbus.Overrides", dialogTheme);

You can put the Color to the LookAndFeelDefaults for all Components "nimbusBase"

UIDefaults defaults = UIManager.getLookAndFeelDefaults();
defaults.put("nimbusBase", new ColorUIResource(210, 0, 210));

Or to a specific Component as you wrote it. Perhaps with update the componentTreeUI.

...
dialogTheme.put("Button.background", new ColorUIResource(0, 0, 210));
...
dialogButton.putClientProperty("Nimbus.Overrides", dialogTheme);
SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(dialogButton);

I never override "nimbusBase" for a specific Component.

I found a nice Nimbus Theme Creator, which can show the effect of changing a Nimbus Default Color to all Components: http://aephyr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk

EDIT

You can 'copy' the Painter, modify them and set them via UIDefaults:

Example GUI with an nimbusOrange JTabbedPane and a normal one. enter image description here

public class Example {

    static public void main( String[] s ) throws Exception {
        for (LookAndFeelInfo info : UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels()) {
            if ("Nimbus".equals(info.getName())) {
                UIManager.setLookAndFeel(info.getClassName());
                break;
            }
        }

        EventQueue.invokeLater( new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                JFrame frame = new JFrame();
                frame.getContentPane().setLayout( new BorderLayout() );
                frame.setBounds( 50, 50, 600, 600 );
                frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );

                JTabbedPane pane = new JTabbedPane();
                pane.addTab( "Lorem", new JLabel("Lorem") );
                pane.addTab( "Ipsum", new JLabel("Ipsum") );
                pane.addTab( "Dolor", new JLabel("Dolor") );
                pane.addTab( "Sit", new JLabel("Sit") );
                pane.addTab( "Amet", new JLabel("Amet") );

                UIDefaults dialogTheme = new UIDefaults();
                dialogTheme.put("TabbedPane:TabbedPaneTab[Enabled].backgroundPainter", new Painter(Painter.BACKGROUND_ENABLED));
                dialogTheme.put("TabbedPane:TabbedPaneTab[Disabled].backgroundPainter", new Painter(Painter.BACKGROUND_DISABLED));
                dialogTheme.put("TabbedPane:TabbedPaneTab[Enabled+MouseOver].backgroundPainter", new Painter(Painter.BACKGROUND_ENABLED_MOUSEOVER));
                dialogTheme.put("TabbedPane:TabbedPaneTab[Enabled+Pressed].backgroundPainter", new Painter(Painter.BACKGROUND_ENABLED_PRESSED));
                dialogTheme.put("TabbedPane:TabbedPaneTab[Selected].backgroundPainter", new Painter(Painter.BACKGROUND_SELECTED));
                dialogTheme.put("TabbedPane:TabbedPaneTab[Disabled+Selected].backgroundPainter", new Painter(Painter.BACKGROUND_SELECTED_DISABLED));
                dialogTheme.put("TabbedPane:TabbedPaneTab[Focused+Selected].backgroundPainter", new Painter(Painter.BACKGROUND_SELECTED_FOCUSED));
                dialogTheme.put("TabbedPane:TabbedPaneTab[MouseOver+Selected].backgroundPainter", new Painter(Painter.BACKGROUND_SELECTED_MOUSEOVER));
                dialogTheme.put("TabbedPane:TabbedPaneTab[Focused+MouseOver+Selected].backgroundPainter", new Painter(Painter.BACKGROUND_SELECTED_MOUSEOVER_FOCUSED));
                dialogTheme.put("TabbedPane:TabbedPaneTab[Pressed+Selected].backgroundPainter", new Painter(Painter.BACKGROUND_SELECTED_PRESSED));
                dialogTheme.put("TabbedPane:TabbedPaneTab[Focused+Pressed+Selected].backgroundPainter", new Painter(Painter.BACKGROUND_SELECTED_PRESSED_FOCUSED));
                dialogTheme.put("TabbedPane:TabbedPaneTabArea[Disabled].backgroundPainter", new AreaPainter(AreaPainter.BACKGROUND_DISABLED));
                dialogTheme.put("TabbedPane:TabbedPaneTabArea[Enabled+MouseOver].backgroundPainter", new AreaPainter(AreaPainter.BACKGROUND_ENABLED_MOUSEOVER));
                dialogTheme.put("TabbedPane:TabbedPaneTabArea[Enabled+Pressed].backgroundPainter", new AreaPainter(AreaPainter.BACKGROUND_ENABLED_PRESSED));
                dialogTheme.put("TabbedPane:TabbedPaneTabArea[Enabled].backgroundPainter", new AreaPainter(AreaPainter.BACKGROUND_ENABLED));
                pane.putClientProperty("Nimbus.Overrides.InheritDefaults", Boolean.TRUE);
                pane.putClientProperty("Nimbus.Overrides", dialogTheme);

                JTabbedPane secondPane = new JTabbedPane();
                secondPane.addTab( "Lorem", new JLabel("Lorem") );
                secondPane.addTab( "Ipsum", new JLabel("Ipsum") );
                secondPane.addTab( "Dolor", new JLabel("Dolor") );
                secondPane.addTab( "Sit", new JLabel("Sit") );
                secondPane.addTab( "Amet", new JLabel("Amet") );

                frame.getContentPane().setLayout( new BorderLayout() );
                frame.getContentPane().add( pane, BorderLayout.NORTH );
                frame.getContentPane().add( secondPane, BorderLayout.CENTER );
                frame.setVisible( true );
            }
        });
    }
}

Painter class with nimbusOrange
NOTE: I removed the paint methods in this Painter example. Because this code was to long. Just add them via copy&past from com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.TabbedPaneTabbedPaneTabPainter.

i tried it before asking this question, and it didn't work. the reason i'm asking this question is because we want in our team to change the color of the tabbedPane to be orange. – Vulgate
i tried it before asking this question, and it didn't work. the reason i'm asking this question is because we want in our team to change the color of the tabbedPane to be orange, but ONLY for one instace which is in the main view of the application. we looked in the TabbedPaneTabbedPaneTabAreaPainter but this is not a public class so we cannot override it.any suggestions? note the that we want the same painter but with specific color. – Vulgate
Oh MAN! I've been trying to change colors for JProgressBar for ages, despite all answers given on several questions by respected @mKorbel, I was finally able to do it by COPY-PASTING-HACKING A NIMBUS PAINTER!!! How ugly is that?! I'd like to open a bug in Nimbus: color names should also be part of the Nimbus.Overrides UIDefaults... – Maidenhood
To override values for a specific component it's better to create a new instance of UIDefaults, I've had strange effects with overriding the global defaults returned by UIManager.getLookAndFeelDefaults(). For example: Object[] uiDefaults = { "TextField.contentMargins", new Insets(0,0,0,0), "TextField[Enabled].borderPainter", new MyBorderPainter() }; textComponent.putClientProperty("Nimbus.Overrides", new UIDefaults(uiDefaults)); – Brennabrennan
