Purpose: When you change your color palette do you change colors elsewhere to keep the consistency? It can be a bit of a chore to change your config.h.
I put togehter a script that when run will take your current xcolors and change your config.h, then reload using xdotool. The script takes the color options into an array, so the base script can easily be altered to choose which colors act as which border.
I have found it to be super useful. I hope you do too.

Code:
#! /bin/bash

## dkeg 2015

## 2bwmColor

## Whenever you change your xcolor run this and your 2bwm borders will keep with you chosen color scheme!

## requires xdotool

. $HOME/bin/colr

# get current xcolors

  BG="#$bg"

  FG="#$fg"

  BLK="#$blk"

  BBLK="#$bblk"

  RED="#$red"

  GRN="#$grn"

  YLW="#$ylw"

  BLU="#$blu"

  MAG="#$mag"

  CYN="#$cyn"

  WHT="#$wht"

# wm border color options; allter to your liking

  foc=$FG

  unfoc=$BLK

  fixc=$RED

  unkil=$YLW

  fixunk=$MAG

  outr=$BLK

  emp=$BG

# set paths

  dir=$HOME/git/2bwm

  file=$HOME/git/2bwm/config.h

# take the colors from the config.h and place into an array  

  wmcol=$(cat $file|grep "*colors"|awk '{print $6}'|cut -d '}' -f1|awk '{gsub(/"/," ");print $2,$4,$6,$8,$10,$12,$14}')

  arr=($wmcol)

# action

   sed -i "s/${arr[0]}/"$foc"/;

           s/${arr[1]}/"$unfoc"/;

           s/${arr[2]}/"$fixc"/;

           s/${arr[3]}/"$unkil"/;

           s/${arr[4]}/"$fixunk"/;

           s/${arr[5]}/"$outr"/;

           s/${arr[6]}/"$emp"/" $file 

# compile

  cd $dir && make && sudo make install

# reload

  xdotool key "super+ctrl+r"

or grab it from github

work hard, complain less
