Color is always a matter of personal preferences (and branding sometimes).
But also a matter of web-accessibility, e.g. for the color blind (see:Fossy-Cats/Git-Buch_EN#15).
Any default HTML templates and stylesheets should meet as many triple As (AAA) as possible for web accessibility standards, IMO, and then end users are free to use whatever they want. Unfortunately, in the software industry, in general, we're not witnessing enough efforts in terms of accessibility in UI/GUI designs. Striving in a FOSS project to stick to those guidelines as much as possible, and being able to proudly publicize it in its website, would be a great way to promote awareness about accessibility issues. Furthermore, providing a web-accessible-ready product would be a strong incentive to its use.

Good point!
It's done.

Great! Thanks.
I wanted to experiment a bit with SASS templates, a sort of "Stylesheet Factory" that could auto-generate PML CSS via different color schemes, etc — mostly to start and get a feel of the underlying HTML template structure, and how it can be styled via CSS.
Definitely, CSS and HTML templates customization is a feature most end users love in any documentation generator, especially HTML templating, which would allow to add custom nav bars and use PML for websites or HTML books, not just single-page docs.

auto-generate PML CSS via different color schemes
Excellent idea. Color is always a matter of personal preferences (and branding sometimes). We should make it easy for users to chose their preferred colors, styling, and layouts.

True 100%.
Too much choice is not always good, but easy and flexible CSS and HTML customization is necessary.
Reminds me excellent advice I'm fond of:
"It should be easy to do simple things; possible to do complex things; and impossible, or at least difficult, to do wrong things."

Yes and yes.

Important point to consider. Well said.
Thanks for the link. Will read it thoughtfully, because I'm a noob when it comes to web accessibility.
