Reply To: How to change the “Members” color in members page

buddypress.css contains all styles used by BP.

I also use a cache plugin that is not caching for logged in users.

If i understand this correctly, it means that if i visit your site without being logged in, i get a page from the cache, right ? This means logically that you have to be logged in while testing your change. And finally, it could be possible that non logged users see (it’s an example) a black title (cached) and logged-in user see a red title (the most recent, not cached, version of the new style applied to that page). Hum…

When you use a child-theme, and his mandatory style.css, the child has priority over the parent theme, and buddypress.css.

Child theme is the only safe strategy to get your customization without loosing your work at each update. You add to it only what you want to modify. Even if you need to change only 2 title styles.
In your case, you need only a style.css with a rule or two for your titles. You don’t have to add template files.

is it possible to find somewhere already created templates with different color profiles

A template is a structure of different HTML tags and some php code for dynamic content.
A theme is a design applied to this armature.
A content is what is showed inside the structure.
HTML is used to build the structure
CSS is used to build the layout/design
Content is text, images, videos, etc
PHP is a coding language to build dynamic pages between a database and a server.

BuddyPress template files are stored in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress

Unfortunatly for you, the theme is a premium one for which we can’t provide support, as we have no access to his code and can’t install it to test without using a licence.

See theme doc for information about child theming it and other advice for adding custom CSS.
