In Mozilla, you can do this by adding the following to userContent.css
in the chrome directory of your profile:
blockquote[type=cite] {
color: navy ! important;
}
blockquote[type=cite] blockquote {
color: maroon ! important;
}
blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote {
color: green ! important;
}
blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote blockquote {
color: purple ! important;
}
blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote blockquote blockquote {
color: teal ! important;
}
Change the colors to suit your preferences, # of 'blockquote's equals
the number of the level of quoting that the color affects[you can add
more if you want, I don't remeber what happens if the is a sixth level
of quoting since it is such a rare occurence.]
