un-red the trac theme

[hamish]

hi,

the gratuitous use of red may be great for National Geographic Kodachrome photography, but in the trac pages it makes my eyes hurt. Any chance to switch it back to something less intense?

seems fairly easy:

If efforts will be taken in improving the color scheme, then le it be a unified color scheme for trac, wiki and the Programmer's manual as well. See also #3146.

I wonder where to insert style changes:

/var/www/trac/grass/templates/site_css.cs

is empty. No other css file on the server...

See ​https://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracInterfaceCustomization#SiteAppearance

Also, useful notes lower down in the ​https://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracInterfaceCustomization#ProjectTemplates section:

The appearance of each individual Trac environment, ie instance of a project, can be customized independently of other projects, even those hosted on the same server. The recommended way is to use a site.html template whenever possible, see ​#SiteAppearance. Using site.html means changes are made to the original templates as they are rendered, and you should not normally need to redo modifications whenever Trac is upgraded. If you do make a copy of theme.html or any other Trac template, you need to migrate your modifiations to the newer version. If not, new Trac features or bug fixes may not work as expected.
