Changing the colour of a webpage based on SQL DB

[Guest]

I'd really LIKE (i.e if this is impossible or amazingly hard I won't bother) to have a box or list of colours which when selected will send the hex code to a SQL DB, which will be retrieved by the next page and will change the colour of the page retrieving the SQL data using CSS or whatever, any ideas how I could do this. I've made no effort to try it or anything yet, just wondered if someone could give me some clues or something.

Thanks guys

You don't really need to send it to the database unless you are creating
separate css files for each color. Simply write the value to a session
variable and then call that the following pages. The exact code will depend
upon what server language is being used

Basically I'm writing a dynamic quiz writer and the colour needs to be specified at the input stage so when people see the quiz it has the colours specified during input so I think I probably would need a database for this.

I'm using PHP and SQL, I can't really write CSS from scratch, I just use all the dreamweaver GUI stuff.
