I see it is now bringing the `purple' alerts in the surface. But not `blue'
yet. Even though I do have some some `blue' (disabled services)
in there. I hope I do not need to add/remove blue from ALERTCOLORS and/or
OKCOLORS
These only affect alerting, not page generation.

AFAIK, you can't.
Some hosts' some
services are disabled and it still shows green in the main page.
Someone did post a script to generate a list of disabled tests/systems, which 
may be a better approach (than explaining to management what blue means :-)).
The only way to realize that some of those tests are disabled is by
clicking on the group and go to the group page.

This is from hobbitserver.cfg man page

     SUMMARY_SET_BKG
          If set to TRUE, then summaries will affect the color of
          the main Hobbit webpage. Default: FALSE.
This relates to summary entries in bb-hosts, see the bb-hosts man page. It has 
nothing to do with upward propagation of page colour.
