I'm confused, kinda. If you want it to be a different color just alter the color?
Lots of ways to attack that, host it yourself, change it with chrome dev tools, a bookmarklet that alters the css, user scripts for css overrides like greasemonkey popularized back in the early days of the web. Hope this helps you get the color you'd like :)
"Show HN" is somewhat asking for feedback, is it not? Or am I mistaken in the format?
Yes, I can probably self-host something like this, change the color schema in a myriad of ways. But I thought the point of Show HN was to showcase and somewhat solicit feedback from the HN community.
