There is no button after I press it, nor is there an option to change it back, at least not that I can see. I have restarted my computer a couple of times and it is still in the classic appearance. On my other computer I went in and pressed the button and when I closed out of personalize and reopened it it was back to the original color and appearance screen.

FYI, are you using the Aero theme? If you change it, or accidentally switch it to basic, then the Personalize screen you are looking for will not show. Changing back to Windows Aero then closing/reopening brings back the personalize screen that you were looking for.

You are welcome.
I did the same thing when I first got Vista and was messing around with the appearance. I was almost 99% sure that that was what happened to you.
