database color shows only on index page, not other pages

I think this has been a bug for a long time.

https://latest.datasette.io/ currently shows:

Those colors are based on a hash of the database name. But when you click through to https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures

It's red on all sub-pages too.

Relevant template snippet:

datasette/datasette/templates/index.html

Line 13 in 33251d0

<h2 style="padding-left: 10px; border-left: 10px solid #{{ database.color }}"><a href="{{ urls.database(database.name) }}">{{ database.name }}</a>{% if database.private %} 🔒{% endif %}</h2>

That database.color is only available in index.html at the moment thanks to this:

datasette/datasette/views/index.py

Lines 108 to 110 in 33251d0

	"color": db.hash[:6]
	if db.hash
	else hashlib.md5(name.encode("utf8")).hexdigest()[:6],
