For those of us not using the default style sheet, that's not very secret - all my text is white on a dark background (theblues). OTOH, the announcement at the top is white on pale yellow for me. ;-)

Yes.
The name of the company is supposedly derived from Ahura Mazda, the transcendental god of Zoroastrianism. It is also said that Mazda coincides with the anglicized pronunciation of the founder's name, Jujiro Matsuda, who was interested in spirituality, and chose to rename the firm in honor of both his family and the Zoroastrians.[4] The word mazda means "great wisdom" in the Iranian Avestan language.
