I think that the DoM/html style nested-tree-of-objects system actually works pretty okay, that flexbox is a pretty good way of laying objects out, and that "web components" are a pretty good idea. I'd use capnproto to expose a simplified "DoM" set of interfaces for manipulating a scene-graph of objects. This would be vastly simplified over what the web provides, and the main way of laying objects out would be flexbox-derived. I'd name all the colors in my theme, probably following bootstraps example of (primary secondary success danger warning info). Semantic names that tell you what the color should be used for, instead of saying (red green blue whatever).
