Hi,

Yes. It's because it's picking up the latest major title, which on the 
first pages is the title of the manual. In the later pages it picks up 
the current chapter's title.

It could. Other opinions?

I wouldn't. If you put too many colors in a document it starts looking 
like a parrot. I worked in the print business for a couple of years and 
I learned to limit the number of fonts and the number of colors used in 
a given document. Most of these rules also make sense on the web (plus 
the official documentation is meant to be printed).

Cheers
