I edit one php file and then simply invoke it. There is very little
more "work."

In preparation, I write a script that opens a file for writing (the css
file) and then one long heredoc to create it's contents. This creates
an easily reusable system for very little extra work.

It's not a database, but I include color definitions from a separate php
file.
