I was in the same boat as you. I would avoid using 24 until it's stable. Instead, as Darksair stated, your load-path is supposed to point to a path (directory), not a file.

Follow these steps:

1. Download the gz file from the link you listed above

2. Move the file to your directory

    %> mv ~/Downloads/color-theme.el ~/.emacs.d/
   

3. Add the path and settings to your emacs resource/profile/settings file

    %> emacs ~/.emacs
    [type]    (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/")
    [type]    (require `color-theme)
    [type]       (color-theme-initialize)
    [type]       (color-theme-robin-hood) 
    {save} Ctrl+x Ctrl+s
   

For a more complete install, download the tarball and copy over the following contents to your .emacs.d/

• color-theme.el
• color-theme-autoloads.el
• themes/
