Actually, when using a visual browser, people still can use their own
colouring (again, the visually impaired). What you are suggesting is
generating browser-specific output. This practise has been tried,
tested, and discarded in webdesign country for some years now (we're
getting OT here) as it does not work for all audiences, and in general
creates an unmaintainable mess.
If you want spam traps advertised, there are numerous better ways.
Adding a clear ("The following e-mail address is solely targetted at
catching mail abuse, do not use it for mail interaction:
foo...@example.com") or more cryptic message ("The trapper recommends
today: foo...@example.com") to the e-mail address will stop humans from
using it, but harvesters will still pick it up.
This is exactly what I do. It fails gracefully even when somebody
overwrites your stylesheet with the version from five years ago that he
has on his laptop.
