Hmmm, I’m still working on this, and I think I found one problem and fixed it, but still the colors aren’t working.
I fixed the $pagecolor in the background and topBanner images, so instead of something like:
top_$pagecolor.png
I’ve got:
top_<?php $pagecolor; ?>.png
So those two little oopsies are fixed, BUT the header file is still not getting the right color.
You want:
<?php echo $pagecolor; ?>
Otherwise the value of $pagecolor is not displayed.

Thanks for catching that, that fixes the body background and topBanner images.
But I don’t think that’s the problem with the header. It’s using the include function to get the header template file. Could it be a problem with using the right quotes? I get single & double quotes confused in php. Also, could it be something about declaring the $pagecolor variable? It doesn’t show in my example above, but I tried adding
global $pagecolor;
at the top, but it didn’t change anything. This is what I’m getting:
Warning: main(C:\xampp\htdocs\wp/wp-content/themes/my-personal-notebook/header-$pagecolor.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\wp\wp-content\themes\my-personal-notebook\page.php on line 27

You’ve got the double-quotes correct in your include above, so I’m surprised it’s not working. But go ahead and try this:
include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/header-" . $pagecolor . ".php");

Thanks for the help, but it’s still not happy.
To be completely clear exactly what’s in my file right now, I’ll repeat it again:
<?php
global $pagecolor;
$pagecolor=”;
$pagecolors = array(
‘about-me’ => ‘green’,
‘About Me’ => ‘green’,
‘my-bio’ => ‘green’,
‘contact’ => ‘green’,
‘gb-view’ => ‘orange’,
‘gb-sign’ => ‘orange’,
‘gallery’ => ‘yellow’,
‘links’ => ‘blue’,
‘story-excerpts’ => ‘green’,
);
foreach ($pagecolors as $slug => $color) {
if(is_page(‘$slug’)) {
$pagecolor = $color;
}
}
if ($pagecolor = ”) {
$pagecolor = ‘purple’;
echo ‘Warning: default color used’;
}
include (TEMPLATEPATH . “/header-” . $pagecolor . “.php”); ?>
<body background=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/images/background_<?php echo $pagecolor; ?>.png”>
<div id=”textColumn”>
<img class=”topBanner” src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/images/top_<?php echo $pagecolor; ?>.png”>
and I’m getting the error:
Warning: main(C:\xampp\htdocs\wp/wp-content/themes/my-personal-notebook/header-.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\wp\wp-content\themes\my-personal-notebook\page.php on line 27

Urgh! the warning’s have gone off the edge. I’ll clean it up the directory structure:
Warning: main(C:\directory/header-.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\directory\page.php on line 27
Warning: main() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘C:\directory/header-.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.;\xampp\php\pear\’) in C:\directory\page.php on line 27
Looking closer…
Ok, lines to change:
if(is_page('$slug')) {
~should be:
if(is_page("$slug")) {
if ($pagecolor = '') {
~should be:
if ($pagecolor == '') {
