You say, "With images off, the numbering would disappear because of
lack of contrast between foreground and background color."
This problem wouldn't exist if you simply chose the foreground &
background (image) colors more wisely. Pick a text color that works
with or without the background -- either a mid-gray text that shows
up well on both white and dark gutter, or a dark text that shows up
well on both white and a pale gutter.
Consider also that the gutter, instead of having a background color
at all, could simply be separated from the body of the listing with a
vertical rule.

If I may stray topiclogically, I've never been able to figure out why
this style of bracketing has become standard and apparently so well-loved:
label {
contents
}
I much prefer:
label
{
contents
}
which appeals to my sense of order and symmetry. The label, be it an
if-test or CSS selector, is on a line by itself, and both brackets
lie in the same column, making the whole structure much easier for me
to proofread and eyeball-search.
Suffice it to say that if I were to use a tool or script that
pretty-printed CSS I'd want the option to place a carriage return
before the opening bracket as well. (And ensure a space after the
colons in CSS rules.) (And brew me a fair-trade espresso.)
