Wikipedia:Use color sparingly

One of Wikipedia's rules to consider:

Use color sparingly. Computers and browsers vary; you cannot know how much color is presented on the recipient's machine if any. Wikipedia is international; colors have different meaning in different cultures. Too many colors on one page make them look cluttered and unencyclopedic. Use the color red only for alerts and warnings.

See debate.
