The best way is to find a skin that's close to what you want, and then make changes to that. Look beyond the colors and consider the positioning and extra features.
What software are you using for your blog?
There are likely to be tutorials for that blog type.

make sure your entire page uses a style sheet, then create different style sheets for each skin you want. Say you have style sheets named fishy.css and aqua.css
Then you can set the skins using a cookie and use the cookie to load the associated style sheet.
So you have links that have:
<a href=?skin=aqua>Aqua Skin</a>
<a href=?skin=fishy>Fishy Skin</a>
At the top of the doc, before anything is echoed
<? setcookie("skin",$skin);?>
Then in the head of the doc
<link rel="stylesheet" hef="<? echo $skin;?>.css>
