#184Earlier quoted context omitted.
Write a Grease-monkey (or equivalent) script, that reads your query variable, applies the value to the top bar, and then add that parameter to all links on the page. Optional: Then write a bookmarklet, that displays a color-picker, and reloads the tab with the changed querystring variable. (HN web server admin might get some "scary" log file entries though, regarding an "unusual" additional QS variable)
That’s called CSS. Use a user style, not javascript. The query is not applicable since its not offered by HN themselves.
You are misunderstanding what grease-monkey can do, and what I'm proposing.
e.g. try loading news.ycombinator.com?myColorVar=44ff55 , it will load normally, as usual. Of course, this variable means nothing to the HN backend, but this is where e.g. Grease-monkey comes in: It injects a bit of javascript of your choosing into the page context for the news.ycombinator.com/* pages. This scriplet can easily change the color of the header-bar, and add the colorVariable to all (non-external) links.
Of course, you can add a line like the following to your local userContent.css:
@-moz-document domain(news.ycombinator.com) { #hnmain>tbody>tr:first-of-type>td { background-color: lime !important; }
, but this has the disadvantage of requiring a Firefox restart for each change, whereas my method requires only twiddling the value in the URL, and it's valid for all future requests, until you change it again.
I hope, the above makes it clearer, what I meant the post above

#187Maybe a different language from English should be used for the CMYK names to allow ambiguities when translating...

#188Added "Hacker News Orange" to the list: https://colornames.org/color/ff6500 I'm struggling to figure out if this is a serious attempt, though.
Heyyo "Hacker News Orange [0.123]" is ranked #5 now.
Edit: I think my new favorite is "#403403 Forbidden Brown"
