My almost finished site uses a standard colour scheme throughout. As part of the change to using dynamic .png images rather than .gifs I found that neither IE or Netscape seem to implement png transparency (alpha channel) correctly. I therefore needed to access the background colour of my pages. I found no obvious method of getting this. I implemented a standard_color dtml-method and modified the standard_header method to use it. It occurred to me that this could be more generally useful. Anyone implemented a better scheme, perhaps using TinyTable or is there some magical way to do this sort of thing. For the interested here're my methods. I use two page formats normal and nonstandard and in addition some pages don't have a body (no_body is defined) ie for setting up frames.
