An excellent DR!

A couple of general notes: the text talks all the time about 12 colours  
but the example only looks like it only has 10 (you have to look twice to  
consider the hyperlinks as part of the example).

An important point of colour themes and thus why they're useful is that  
the colours are related according to colour theory and can be used  
together without clashing. For example, I think the saturation of the  
accent colours is the same. Code that demonstrates this could be useful.
