Most Web browsers let you choose between using the colors set by the page
and overriding them with your own choice. One should not try to hack
around this!
Also, use <ALT> tags for all graphics so that a page is meaningful if a
browser is set _not_ to autoload graphics (if a person is using a speech
translator) or a nongraphics browser such as Lynx. Even better, make an
alternative text-only page easily available. This is essential if you use
frames, which screw up text readers.
