When I open the Edit tab for the NuVoc page, I see that the colors are
defined in the page itself.

So, hypothetically speaking, anyone with edit access to the nuvoc page
(which, I presume, is everyone with a wiki account) could change the
colors.

Doing a good job of that is another issue.

(For example: these are background colors, so contrast with the
foreground is an issue. But, the foreground color could also be
edited.)

Personally, I would be inclined to try to adopt some color scheme
which is already in use. If I could find one that fits. (I haven't.)

Also, personally, I would be tempted to stand up this kind of change
on a test page, and get feedback, before deploying the change to
NuVoc.

Note also that I've added the wiki list to my reply here, and maybe
that's a better forum for this topic?
