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

[Tyler Kraft]

assuming that the menu is a list of  sections of the site perhaps use 
css and put it into the head on the page according to what branch of the 
page you need

headerData.20=TEXT
headerData.20.value(
	<style>....</style>
)

[PIDinRootline=2]
	headerData.20>
	headerData.20=TEXT
	headerData.20.value(
		<style>....</style>
	)

[PIDinRootline=2]
	headerData.20>
	headerData.20=TEXT
	headerData.20.value(
		<style>....</style>
	)

[end]
