Separate style from color - one stylesheet that only does positioning,
etc., and another that does color. For example:
Site A:
<link type="text/css" href="style.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link type="text/css" href="style_site_a.css" rel="stylesheet>
Site B:
<link type="text/css" href="style.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link type="text/css" href="style_site_b.css" rel="stylesheet>
Etcetera, etcetera, etecetera (10 points for the source).
