Right. Uhm, I think you lost me around "1) eight properties..." and the rest of that is, uhm, well. It's very impressive. Not really sure what it means, but it looks cool! But if the upshot is: "hey, you don't have to entirely recode the color section of the CSS to allow for twiddling on every single color instance," sounds fine to me.
Though if you scroll down in the base code, I did make notes about the color logic. There are basically four boxes, and each one has a set of proportions in its colors. So they shade equally darker or lighter, to the same degree. There are odd colors that sit outside those proportions (like on the tags page, or the archives pages), but in general, if you wanted more than the most basic 8-color control but not the wacky 120+ color control, that was my idea of a potential compromise, to list the four boxes and the colors for each part.
(And then draw from those what the 8 base colors are for the oddball colors, but I'm not really sure how that'd quite work.)
