[wp-ui] Admin header background color: light or dark?

[Toon Van de Putte]

I would avoid the use of !important. I'd also put the colours in specific
classes, like .header-red, .header-green, etc. Then let PHP decide which
class to attach to the header. Hardcoded styles like in your example are a
lot less flexible and future-proof.
Generally, it's a good idea for plugin authors/developers to just attach
relevant (general and specific) classes to every element, and let
stylesheets decide the styling specifics. Kind of like Wordpress itself does
with the body tag and post divs.
