All the above is correct, but is not enough. After you rename the theme, e.g. rename the folder old-theme --> new-theme, you should copy the theme customizations (colors, header / footer, widgets, etc.) from the old theme to the new theme. This is done directly in the MySQL database:

1. Find an option named theme_mods_old-theme in the table wp_options
2. Copy the option_value (it is a text holding the theme customizations in a special WordPress format)
3. Put the copied value in a new option named theme_mods_new-theme in the wp_options table.
