This does not really affect the build system, so if you want to push 
this, go ahead. However, I do have some opinions:

1) You are re-adding a lot of css rules. This will make it harder to 
align this page with an common overall look-and-feel using the shared 
css file.

2) I don't want to sound harsh, but, but is this really an improvement? 
I find this page almost as bad as the old "brick wall". :-( It's 
incomprehensible until you read the small print legend at the bottom.

Also, one of the first things I learned in my human-computer interaction 
classes was to *never* use color as the single discriminating feature. A 
large minority of the population is color-blind and cannot tell the 
difference between e.g. red and green, and it's especielly hard if it's 
like those low saturation colors that you've picked.
