I am building a computer for my wife here soon, and needless to say aesthetics will be important. So I will probably wind up with a colored theme for her, but probably something like purple or yellow. I can't find any GPU's with stock LEDs in those colors already in them, does anyone know if you can switch out the stock fans in a GPU or am I just asking for trouble?

Zalman use to sell custom GPU Heatsinks with LED Fans but I haven't seen one since the GeForce 9800GT days, frankly it wasn't worth the $50 just to have a light. Your not going to find generic GPU fans now a days as the mounting is custom for a handful of cards at a time.

Good place to look at Lighting if your into that, as for me my cases just get shoved out of the way and under my desk.

If this isn't enough you can also use Model Lights, some of these kits can be programed to do just about anything you imagination can come up with, Most are 12 volts as well.
