About the style

The website background colour is stored in a cookie, and can be set from the Styles/Colours page.

The brightness check is to stop people using a colour which is too light, lest the white text become unreadable

<?php header("Content-type:text/CSS"); 

SetColour($_COOKIE["StyleColour"]);
