I would like to permit users to define custom colors for my website.
Traditionally, this is done by creating variables that are placed in
html <font> tags. Of course, <font> tags are greatly discouraged these
days in favor of the more efficient CSS tags, which define classes and
then apply colors against the class members. Currently, I have a
site-wide CSS file; the challenge is to have a user-specific CSS file.

Given that I am using CSS, is there a way to permit users to define
their own colors, store them in a database record associated with their
user account or on a client-side cookie and thereby modify the CSS file?
If not, shouldn't there be?

Note that this is distinct from a browser based CSS override, which
would apply to all sites that the user visits as opposed to just my
site.

Regards,
Mike

Why not just generate a <style/> tag with user-specific settings for the
various class selectors?

<html>
<head>
<style>
<%
    ' You get the idea, I'm sure...
    RenderUserStyles userId
%>
</style>

// mark
