I personally also do not like pages that are too colorful.  If you can
convey the same information with smaller number of colors, please try to
do so.  And remember that some people are colour-challenged.

By the way, are you using a font that is a bit smaller than the body text
to render the examples?  I find it harder to read.

I thought that browsers typically have user control to let you set the
standard font size and choice independently for proportional, serif, sans
and mono, and people who want to see typewriter face in smaller font would
already have set their browser to do so (I don't do so myself because I'd
rather want to see them in uniform size).  I haven't checked your CSS, but
if you are doing "monospace smaller than usual", aren't you effectively
(1) doing disservice to people like me, and (2) doing disservice to people
who do want smaller monospace and configured their browser already (the
outcome would be doubly smaller, which may become too small)?
