Why are all metas grey except Meta Stack Exchange?
Why was it done so?

    To make this site unreadable :( The fonts are so light it is painful to read

    To sum it all up: because Meta Stack Exchange is not a per-site meta like all others.

Some reasons behind it:

  • It is a governing meta for whole of Stack Exchange network.
  • It is a separate site unlike other per site meta sites.
  • It has it's own reputation system.
  • It doesn't have any parent Q&A site.
  • And of course unicorns are shifted here.

  • Is Meta.SE the father or elder brother of all the other sites?

    Meta.SE is Washington, DC (or possibly the UN General Assembly); the other metas are the local town hall.

I would imagine it is because this meta is for all SE sites.
