Color does four jobs on this page: identity, hierarchy, state and mood. Switch each job's color off, or turn the page gray, and see which jobs still get done. Then take away the second cues and try again.
Your system is using forced colors now. Your browser has already switched every job's color off and drawn the page in your palette. What is left is the second cues; switch them off to see what a color-only design leaves you.
