This makes me wondering wether W3C consortium has special (reserved) names for 
Mail-colors. You may want to check Colors module from CSS3, to be sure wether 
there are some Mail-Header, etc. colors or not.

Also: check bug report 33623, it has link to interesting CSS example related 
to our discussion.

Subject: CSS system colors not changed when look & feel changed through KDE 
control center
 From: bert at w3 org
 
Package: khtml
 Version: 3.0 (using KDE 2.2.1 )
 Severity: normal
 Installed from: compiled sources
 Compiler: gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)
 OS: Linux (i686) release 2.2.14
 OS/Compiler notes: 

When a style sheet uses the CSS system colors (ThreeDFace, ThreeDDarkShadow, 
ButtonText, etc.) they are correctly taken from the desktop current color 
scheme. However, when the color scheme is changed in the KDE Control Center, 
the style sheet is not re-evaluated. 

Of course, stopping and restarting Konqueror fixes that, but it looks a bit 
sloppy when all windows on the screen immediately change color when "Apply" 
is pressed and the browser doesn't. 

One concrete example, where it is especially noticeable: 

Some sites now use the IE proprietary properties scrollbar-*-color 
(scrollbar-track-color, scrollbar-face-color, etc.) and Konqueror supports 
them. CSS provides a way to remove their effect again (which Konqueror 
supports, luckily!), by means of user style sheets. I have described how to 
do that here: http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/scrollbars.html 

After installing a user style sheet as described there, the scrollbars indeed 
look like normal scrollbars again, except that they are not changed through 
the Control Center; you'll have to stop and restart Konqueror for the color 
change to take effect.
