I haven't kept up-to-date on what is possible with CSS nowadays, but couldn't we come a long way by using CSS variables [1]? Is it possible to include a stylesheet defining the color scheme into another CSS file? Now the colors in /core/css/styles.css are hardcoded and I've had to copy some of them to the app stylesheet. It would be much easier just to change one file with color/border/etc definitions and use e.g. "var(mainbackgroundcolor)".
