To me, that's rather like saying that a music album with different ambient background noises on different songs, loud enough to be distracting, sounds more like real life. The coloured borders represent information that's very general, far more so than the text or tables, but is being asserted very strongly and to me, distractingly.

As a parallel, I never took up playing D&D 3e, and a significant reason for that was that the complex coloured background to the pages made reading them genuinely hard work.

Or is you problem with the colors that get chosen? Because that can make a real difference, I can still remember how bad the lighting was in those toilets with glossy back tiles in Uni.

Several of the border colours aren't easy to distinguish from each other, as I said. Simplifying the colour key to only 4-5 categories of pages would make it far more usable to me. Yes, my colour vision is very poor.
