I&nbsp;also find the boxes' several colors distracting. I mean, I suppose we could make every word on a wiki page a different color, too, but what's the point? Some people who are visual learners are distracted by too many colors, so when a designer asks himself whether some page element should be a different color, a good question to ask is "What am I trying to achieve by setting this off in a different color?" If everything is highlighted, nothing is highlighted. If everything is colorful, nothing stands out. If every heading has a different color, it can confuse the reader who tries to figure out what's important (and therefore which color is most important, and therefore what to read first).
