Extract the downloaded archive to the ".themes" directory (without quotes). It is a hidden folder in your home directory (hidden folders' name start with a dot). If there is no .themes folder in your home directory then create it. After installation be careful to open "Window Manager" instead of "Appearance".
I tried it on LinuxMint 20.1 beta. It works. Are you sure you are downloading the archive instead of installing it from the theme web site? Try to go to files section and download it manually. Then try to extract the archive to .themes folder.
Sorry, I should have said - I have installed the Pling Store, and have successfully installed another theme through it. That's why I am puzzled as to why OneColor did not appear.
Are you sure you are opening a "Window Manager" instead of "Appearance". Did you succeed to install another XFCE theme? Check the ".themes" folder for the OneColor XFCE theme folders. The .themes folder is a hidden folder in your home directory.

I've got to add this to the previous comment--this seems totally bizarre to me! I copied the themes with the wrong permissions to a flash drive--and the copies on the flash drive had the right permissions (644)! Don't know why it worked, but it did.
Good, simple, colorful themes, but the XPM files came with the wrong permissions (700 rather than 644), so I had to change the permissions to get the themes to display for all users from /usr/share/themes.

:-( installed from PLing but did not show up in the themes menu
You need to have installed this: https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1175480 to be able to install themes directly from the PLING website.
