I think this looks really ugly, and if I were a computer novice, I would reel.
Do we seriously need to define colors? We haven't needed color in any of the
text, why should we need it in tables?
Alignment is possibly a concern, but things like "thin line" just looks
useless. Face it, if Wikipedia will ever become a slick and nice looking site,
it will not be because the article authors can define layout and form - it will
be because someone can use the separated-from-form content in a novel/slick
manner.
If one need to show a color, why not use a picture?
I liked the idea posted earlier here,
