The bright red banner is a bit too brash too and some of the different colour shades clash. I mocked up a variant on your styling to illustrate a potential alternative approach: https://berrange.com/~dan/qemu/index.html There's essentially only 2 colors used there - the orange from the QEMU logo is used for links when you hover/click them. That orange then has lightness value reduced, so give the darker orange for header and non-active links. That ensures the relative color mix between the two is consistent, avoiding clashing color.
