[TYPO3-doc] Requests for styling of documentation

[ben van 't ende]

heyla,

rasmus is working on the brandbook. that might also give some pointers for this.
i cc-ed it to him. he might be able to say something about it.

for me personally i would not touch the colors and not use orange at all for
headers.
