Information
This is a continuation of the Snazzy borders theme and is based on a request by Mark Haller for a Snazzy border box with a coloured heading that can be easily styled in different colours.
The color change is held in a separate background class style for each color which is then combined with the standard snazzy box style.
The result is that you can combine the standard style and the background color style to give the required look.
This can be used for any number of different color combinations.
