I'm taking a break for now (and switching back to the palette that is NOT a complete eyesore)

But I have some questions about specific things. I'll probably add to the list as I go along.

What code controls the text color of the highlighted parts of the forum/forest pages/menus/chatbox links etc?

/*--------------------------------------------------
Set the small text color in chat (time)
--------------------------------------------------*/

.bsmalltext { font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12px; color:#983500;}
.bsmalltext a:visited { font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12px; color:#983500;}
.bsmalltext a:link { font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12px; color:#983500;}
.bsmalltext a:hover { font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12px; color:#24683e;}

The highlighted color code is the one that controls the color of the hover in chat. For the rest of the locations you're looking for code that says a:hover

By highlighted I mean the stuff the mouse is hovering over :')

Like how the links in chat change color if you hover the mouse over them

That would be this:

.mainlineblacksmall a:hover { font-family:times,sans-serif; font-size:13px; color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 2px 2px 3px black; }

Red is changeable. Look for the green text in anywhere you'd like to change!

What box is the one that lets you change the background for forum posts(so behind what you're reading now)? This guide is super helpful!!
