[TYPO3] Select a color according to the active level 1 menu item

[Peter Klein]

Hi Joerg. I made a similar setup a while back, using the extension 
"Multi-color menu" (ExtKey:  n_mcmenu)
http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/unsupported/n_mcmenu/0.0.6/

Using that you can specify colors in the pageheader of each page.
You then create some typoscript code to extract the color information and 
place it where you need it..
