... I'd appreciate your guidance on how best to organise my CSS  
styles. ... / ... My client also wants to have colour variations  
within the overall them on some pages, meaning that I will have to  
vary background and
keyline colours. ...

Ian,
My suggestion would be: develop your first page (or the web site in  
general) with one css file. Once you are happy with your stylesheet,  
break it into different files which you can then import into one  
stylesheet that is linked in your HTML.
When you break your stylesheet into separate sheets, I would define  
for example:
- basic styles that will be supported by all browsers (old and new)
- positioning
- colours
This way, you have all the colour info in one place and it makes it  
so easy to change the whole look of your entire site in minutes.

A good example of this practice could be Digital Web magazine if I  
remember correctly. Check how their css is constructed.

I would try to avoid adding css styles in the head of my html files  
as it contradicts the idea of css stylesheets.

All the best,
Elle
