LookAndFeel-independent reference of color keys

I am currently working on a set of custom controls for a product of the company I'm working in. For this, I am extending a lot of Swing controls and also overriding a lot of paint methods.

In order to maintain a consistent color scheme, I receive the colors for my paint, setBackground etc. methods using UIManager.getColor.

This was perfectly fine until we noticed that the Nimbus LookAndFeel, which is shipped with current JRE versions, uses totally different color keys, thus many things looks totally out of place.

For instance, while all other stock LookAndFeels (Metal, Windows Classic, Windows, CDE/Motif, GTK) have defined the key "text" as a bright background for texts and "textText" as the corresponding foreground color, "text" in Nimbus is actually a black foreground color, and a standard text background color does not seem to exist.

"TextField.background" would work, but that, for instance, doesn't exist for the Windows LookAndFeels.

I suppose you get the problem by now. I don't want to have to maintain a set of color keys for each LAF, who knows what LAFs will be added in the future and which my company may decide to use.

A simple solution would be getting rid of Nimbus, of course, but understandably my boss doesn't like this idea at all, besides Nimbus is part of the JRE these days and should be supported.

So I wonder whether there is any standardized way to get LAF-dependent colors like, say, "text background / foreground", "selected text bg/ fg", etc.?
