Re: "File for lagrange to check for custom colors?"
would there be any chance to have somekind of file like lagrange_color.gmi or something, that lagrange checks when loading the index of a page?
Sorry, the chance of that in the official Lagrange builds is pretty much zero...
It's the same argument as with the favicon.txt. The client would have to make an additional network request every time it visits any capsule and that goes against the principles of Gemini. Also, what about tilde roots ("domain.tld/~username" or "domain.tld/users/username"), is this stylesheet specific to the domain or the user? Both? Cascading? It gets too complicated.

Makes sense, it's better to have this in a standard if it ever is a feature.

File for lagrange to check for custom colors? — I know gemini is all about users deciding the colors. However, would there be any chance to have somekind of file like lagrange_color.gmi or something, that lagrange checks when loading the index of a page? In that file there could be color values or seed or something, that lagrange picks as default. Of course, users of lagrange could override this or disable the feature entirely. And when colors are loaded from that file, lagrange could pop-up "
