CSS Colour Styles

I can’t remember where I got these from (if you know please tell me so I can credit accordingly)
This is a collection of CSS classes that provide a nice easy way to add colour to buttons, messages etc.
I’m posting them up here purely for my own ease of access, if you get some usage out of it as well then great :)
