The colors purple and orange can't be used, because those are to distinguish bots and notable users. You can use similar colors, but they can't match what is already being used by our highlight system that denotes certain users. You can use red, since we do not use red in any of our highlights.

Also, when you post a reply on the forum, you don't need to sign your messages, because it's automatically signed by you when you hit reply, like in blogs. You should still continue to sign talk pages though.

And, like I said before about the highlight.css, I just edit the contents, so I don't know what else if anything is needed beyond the highlight.css page if you are just setting it up for the first time. For that you would have to ask someone at Community Central.
