Colour
From WP:Deviations In general, styles for tables and other block-level elements should be set using CSS classes, not with inline style attributes. This is because the site-wide CSS is more carefully tested to ensure compatibility with a wide range of browsers; it also creates a greater degree of professionalism by ensuring a consistent appearance between articles. Deviations from standard conventions are acceptable where they create a semantic distinction (for instance, the infoboxes and navigational templates relating to The Simpsons use a yellow colour-scheme instead of the customary mauve, to tie in with the dominant colour in the series) but should not be used gratuitously. By adding random background: lavendar, background: mauve, background: yellow statements, you are using "inline style attributes" to set styles for "block-level elements". These styles should be set by "CSS classes" in MediaWiki:Common.css. Just adding colours because "I like them" or because "I think they look pretty" is not very professional. In addition, visually impaired editors use Special:MyPage/skin.css to set personal colour schemes with greater colour contrast. By overriding these with "inline style attributes" you are reducing the WP:Accessibility of the articles. Thank you. Frietjes (talk) 15:22, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Find some other way of setting the colors before you remove this method. Nyttend (talk) 05:22, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Let me make sure we are clear here. We are arguing over the difference between the following two versions of this navigation box?


 * The only difference is that the below section is slightly lighter in the version without the extra style statements. Is this seriously what we are arguing over?  I say we go back to discussing the bike shed.  If you really like the below section darker, I can certainly show you how to put it in your personal skin.css file.  Just the following into your Special:MyPage/skin.css

.navbox-title, table.navbox th { background: #ccccff;    /* Level 1 color */ } .navbox-abovebelow, .navbox-group, .navbox-subgroup .navbox-title { background: #ccccff;    /* Level 2 color */ } .navbox-subgroup .navbox-group, .navbox-subgroup .navbox-abovebelow { background: #ccccff;    /* Level 3 color */ }
 * These are just redefinitions of what is in MediaWiki:Common.css. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 01:59, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Since there is no response, I am assuming that there are no objections. I will go ahead and make the change.  Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ (talk)  21:20, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
