Are those variants recommended on the Gnu Emacs homepage? If not
then barebones Emacs should also offer an appealing experience
in case a new user goes there from google.

The project should just ask a graphical designer from an other
free software project to create a pleasant default theme for
Emacs (including the default colors, customize, info, etc.)

It is not a task for engineers, so it should be done by somebody
who's qualified to do this job.
