I'm trying to create a user style, using the Firefox Stylish add-in, to turn all the blue in my GMail to Olive Green.

The generated DOM of the GMail page is the terrain of foreign legion demi-heroes, and definitely not even for brave mortals.

How could I formualte a selector that will get all elements with a certain background colour and change that colour?

What's wrong with creating a custom theme the way that they provide?

Settings -> Themes -> Choose your own colours

If they had done it using the 'style' attribute, which they haven't (but other sites may have), then using this jQuery Selector[^] may be of interest.

Actually, I had a brain wave.

Using jQuery, select everything:

$('*').each(function(){
    if ($(this).css('background-color')=='blue')
        $(this).css('background-color','olive-green');
});

Note that I think the css function returns colors in RGB... but don't hold me to it! I also haven't tested it, but I don't see why it shouldn't work (famous last words!).
