All depends Inside wikia skin customization page is great for giving you an idea but thats not enough some times, Firebug is great, i use it my self mostly for untangling those tricky css coded effects or at least to get an idea, but for example:
I look the source of any page and search for the beach skin http://images.wikia.com/common/skins-200802.4/monaco/beach/css/main.css?991 grab its code and use another add on of firefox call "Edit CSS" paste the code at the bottom, use a little bit of common sense with the name of the tag to know or get an idea of what it affects, if i'm doubtful i just substitute for a random color, its a faster way for doing huge and more complete customizations since Monaco is base in Monobook, and this last one likes to overtag some times creating peculiar effects. And i dont have to invest time looking for "whats the spot that is missing customization" but rather in color balancing.
