Automated BG Color change?

Hi all,

I'm working on an IntRAnet site populated by Wintel and Mac. The Wintel
machines are running MSIE 4.x > and the MAC's are running NN 4.x >

I have a page broken into two frames, a left and a right.

I want to change the bgcolor (defined by "#EEFF00") in the left frame to
match the bg color defined in the (various) right frame pages.

For instance, both pages share ("#FFFF00") on the splash page, but the
first link takes you to a (right) frame defined with ("#800080") -!! UCK !!

If I have to use page colors like this I atleast want them to not turn the
viewers stomach as this color combination does !!

So . . . 

I need something like . . . 

OnClick Change "frame.left"="bgcolor=#FFFF00", to
"frame.left"="bgcolor=#800080".

Know what I mean????

Any ideas? Because it's a known audience I have no problem with JavaScript
except the lack of knowledge to write the correct script, however in this
case I do not own enough of the root to set up any SSI solutions. Which
figures, this is how I *know* how to fix it! 

I have the feeling a Style Sheet solution might do this, but alass . . . .
the lack of support for CSS (generally) has put me off on learning it in
depth enough to pull this off using CSS . . . on my own :-(

*Any* suggestions (not to mention appropriate code!) will be greatly
appreciated!
Fuzzy.
