I made that web page back in the days when I was a grad student at UBC (The University of British Columbia) and the web was relatively new. In those heady days, we were unfettered by concerns of readability and aesthetics. Instead, it was all about staking a claim and saying, “This, this is my color scheme! I defy anyone else to try and take it from me!”. I think I won.
