Continuing the discussion from [What about an easier styling/theming system?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-about-an-easier-styling-theming-system/12346):

I recently discovered this very handy Bootstrap utility:

> **[1pxdeep | A flat Bootstrap 3 theme that changes color](http://rriepe.github.io/1pxdeep/)**

It lets you set a single “seed color” and from that it makes you a complete color scheme. I think “anyone can be a designer” features like these could be really valuable for a forum, as it makes it very easy for anyone to style their forum to their liking - in accordance with style standards determined by Discourse - which in turn reduces the “every Discourse forum looks the same” effect.

The color theming system is a great first step, but your average forum admin will not have the design sense (or patience) to make a good looking _and_ readable forum design.
