Instead of just one colour, parts of the page
could be coloured according to different parts of
the version number, e.g. header from the major
version and sidebar from the minor version, with
maybe a stripe somewhere for the revision.

The digits could be encoded using the standard
resistor colour code:

    0 - black
    1 - brown
    2 - red
    3 - orange
    4 - yellow
    5 - green
    6 - blue
    7 - purple
    8 - grey
    9 - white

Then there would be no problem recovering the
version number from the colour scheme.
