Well it's just an experiment.
If we don't like it I can comment out a couple lines and it sort of goes away.
If we do like it then I need to document it.

Not sure when I'd even use it, except for those sites that say
refer to the blue section below
or
your entry is invalid please refer to the items marked in red
This happens sometimes but not often.

Colors (from the css sheets) are almost always rgb values which is borderline useless,
so I convert them to the closest standard color.

I'm using nonascii (for the first time) symbols to demark a color section,
and I sort of like that but sort of don't,
but we're so badly overloading the ascii symbols that I don't know how long we can keep doing that.
I should probably use other unicodes to demark invisible sections, hover sections, frames, etc.

The ease of use depends on how you set up your adapter,
which is the nice thing about moving to higher unicodes.
You can have your adapter say
color start, color end
or just start end, or in out, or whatever.
Probably anything is better than double less than or whatever it says by default.

To play with it, browse any site,
and type colors
a toggle command,
which means colors+ and colors- will work.
You'll see things like

:red≪{contact us}≫

Or color start and end around a whole menu or section, etc.
Have fun, and send me feedback.
