Re: my header and footer colors are not matching?

I can't see the exact problem, but you have both background-color: and color: set to the same value, which shouldn't work at all.

color: refers to the color of the text.

Try changing the background-color to some other value (#ff0000, for example) temporarily to see if they look the same, and change the color: to #ffffff.

Your sidebox headers are images (tile_back.gif). You'll need to remove that to color them with background-color:

OK, the footer background-color is #ff9900, but you have a solid-color image for everything but the footerbar:

stylesheet.css (line 542)
.leftBoxHeading, .centerBoxHeading, .rightBoxHeading {
background-color: #ABBBD3;
background-image: url("../images/tile_back.gif");
margin: 0;
padding: 0.5em 0.2em;
}

tile_back.gif is a deeper reddish color.

The header and footer are actually both #ff9900 - it is not apparent because viewing angle affects the color so much on a flatscreen. Add the image if you want them to match the sideboxes:

stylesheet.css (line 247)

#navMainWrapper, #navSuppWrapper, #navCatTabsWrapper {
background: #FF9900 url(../images/tile_back.gif);
color: #FF9900;
font-weight: bold;
height: 1%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0.5em 0.2em;
}
