In fact, catalogues often use full-length coloured edges. But it still doesn't help the OP's effective "n*m" problem, that use of styles for this /and/ other purposes seems to involve. It seems to me that maybe positions (and colours?) of objects on the page may need to be computable; maybe some sort of soup involving page/chapter numbers, fields, whatever.
