might be doable.  hard to do with the way it's set up now though, ie:

information title: information

make sense?

mccreath's granite is the only one that has pagetitle1 background-color set
the same as the main content area (.main ??).

i see what you're trying to say, but what if the author is purposely trying
to get a different look and feel by either making a bar across the page by
making the background-color for pagetitle1 and pagetitle2 the same or by
eliminating that bar altogether by making those background-colors the same
as main?

i do understand where you're coming from, but i still feel that altering the
css values is wrong and should be avoided.  changing those values, no matter
the reason, is altering the stylesheet author's intended result.
