[Tex/LaTex] How to change colors in Beamer theme

beamer

I would like to change colors in Beamer theme like Amsterdam (downloaded from the side http://latex.simon04.net the first topic). How can I get on the top instead of dark blue for example red color and instead of light blue green color? I use the headline defined like this

\setbeamertemplate{headline}
{%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[colsep=1.5pt]{upper separation line head}
  \end{beamercolorbox}
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[ht=1.7ex,dp=1.125ex,%
      leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil]{section in head/foot}
    \vskip2pt\insertsectionnavigationhorizontal{\paperwidth}{}{}
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \ifbeamer@theme@subsection%
    \begin{beamercolorbox}[colsep=1.5pt]{middle separation line head}
    \end{beamercolorbox}
    \begin{beamercolorbox}[ht=1.7ex,dp=1.125ex,%
      leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil]{subsection in head/foot}
      \usebeamerfont{subsection in head/foot}\insertsubsectionhead
    \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \fi%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[colsep=1.5pt]{lower separation line head}
  \end{beamercolorbox}
} \mode <all>

\makeatletter
\DeclareOptionBeamer{compress}{\beamer@compresstrue}
\ProcessOptionsBeamer

\documentclass{beamer}

\mode<presentation>
 {
 \usetheme{Amsterdam}
 \setbeamercolor*{palette secondary}{use=structure,fg=white,bg=red}
 \setbeamercolor*{palette tertiary}{use=structure,fg=white,bg=green}
 }

\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
 \begin{frame}
   \lipsum

[Tex/LaTex] Change beamer theme mid document

beamer themes (main themes as well as color, font, inner and outer themes) may not be switched mid-document. However, it is possibe (though perhaps not always desirable) to change beamer's internal settings in accordance with a desired new theme. In the following example, I mimic a switch from the default settings to that of the "orchid" color theme.

\documentclass{beamer}

\begin{document}

\section{First}

\begin{frame}{First}
\begin{theorem}
Some text.
\end{theorem}
\end{frame}

\setbeamercolor{block title}{use=structure,fg=white,bg=structure.fg!75!black}
\setbeamercolor{block title alerted}{use=alerted text,fg=white,bg=alerted text.fg!75!black}
\setbeamercolor{block title example}{use=example text,fg=white,bg=example text.fg!75!black}

\setbeamercolor{block body}{parent=normal text,use=block title,bg=block title.bg!10!bg}
\setbeamercolor{block body alerted}{parent=normal text,use=block title alerted,bg=block title alerted.bg!10!bg}
\setbeamercolor{block body example}{parent=normal text,use=block title example,bg=block title example.bg!10!bg}

\section{Second}

\begin{frame}{Second}
\begin{theorem}

\end{theorem}

[Tex/LaTex] Changing URL colors in headline / footline of beamer template

You can use

\hypersetup{colorlinks,urlcolor=blue}
\addtobeamertemplate{headline}{\hypersetup{linkcolor=.}}{}
\addtobeamertemplate{footline}{\hypersetup{linkcolor=.}}{}

to set the linkcolor to the current color . inside the templates headline and footline.

enter image description here

Code:

\documentclass[]{beamer}

\usepackage{beamerthemebars}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usetheme{AnnArbor}
\usecolortheme{wolverine}

\setbeamercolor{palette tertiary}{bg=blue,fg=white}
\setbeamercolor{palette secondary}{bg=gray,fg=white}
\setbeamercolor{palette primary}{bg=pink,fg=white}

\beamertemplatenavigationsymbolsempty %hides navigation.

\addtobeamertemplate{footline}{\hypersetup{linkcolor=.}}{}

\author[Coatless]{Lack of Coat}
\institute[Uni]{Uni All}
\date[Date]{\today}
\title[Title]{Fake Presentation}


\begin{document}

\section{Section naught}
\subsection{Subsection Ya}

\frame{\titlepage}

\begin{frame}{First Frame}
\href{http://tex.stackexchange.com/}{StackExchange}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Additionally there is shorter possibility if only URLs should be colored:

\hypersetup{colorlinks,allcolors=.,urlcolor=blue}
