I know the feeling. However, it is part of their terms and I want to be fully
compliant this time around. Now that we're getting communication going about it
I'd rather just keep everyone happy.

That's exactly what I was aiming for. I was even thinking of having an option
in there that allows us to link to a page describing that very specific option.
As long as we keep our theme near theirs and the colors standardized enough
(not many slight variations), we should have no issues with this. I would like
to get a color palette of 5 or 6 colors that are specific points in our theme
to base style.css from that. The color module can handle it, but I'd like to
make sure that it has as little chance to fail as possible.
