Shivan - The UI spec is meant for the folks implementing the UI. They will need to know what colours and fonts are to be used. The wireframes are not detailed enough for this to matter. If you were talking about a desktop UI, the coders actually do need to know what to use for the implementation. In HTML-based systems, someone other than coders may produce the UI, but they should still be looking at the UI specification.
