Main branding colors should be consistent - where unique colors will crop up is for things like borders, hover-states, text-shadows that will not necessarily work again in another context. Coderwall also deliberately has a slightly different color palette for each area of the site so it's not a big surprise to see our colors quickly stack up to the 44 colors the article mentions. It might be a little excessive to have >100 colors like some of the sites mentioned.
