Well the colour will probably be OK until you enter a tunnel
Speaking of sensible css code, I've always wondered why calibre needs to style each and every paragraph? I exploded (is that the right term?) a couple of epub files converted by calibre, and found that there was inline css for every paragraph.

Now, I am not an expert in html and css, but I did have a semester long course at the university that covered sensible css practices, and one of the things that our professor often mentioned was that css should be kept in a separate file to avoid any future issues with web page display. I imagine the same can be applied to epub design, and I believe I even asked about that somewhere on the calibre forum, but I'm not sure where and whether it was answered.
